"A Missouri vineyard founded by an enthusiast inspired by early 20th-century grape catalogs, this project has focused on reviving and trialing dozens of Indigenous and heritage varieties (starting with roughly 60 varietals). The effort is labor- and knowledge-intensive—tracking nursery sources, transplanting little-known grapes, and monitoring a wide sweep of vines—and reflects a long-term, low-capital approach to restoring grape biodiversity rather than maximizing short-term yield." - Julia Fine
