Doing less is more in the vineyards these days. For decades, winemaking was all about intervention, more oak, more manipulation, more “fixing.”

In this clip from The Sipping Point, Jeff explains why today’s top winemakers are focusing more on expressing the vineyard instead of overpowering it — and honestly? Your wine glass is better for it.
