Modern Agriculture in the Texas Hill Country with Adega Vinho's Michael Bilger

Modern Agriculture in the Texas Hill Country with Adega Vinho's Michael Bilger

Michael Bilger of Adega Vinho joins me for a talk about the viticulture and enology practices he employs at Adega Vinho in Stonewall, Texas. We get specific about the terroir in the Texas Hill Country, efforts to add sub-AVAs to the Texas Hill Country appellation, and the modern agricultural practices that are being implemented in the Bilger family vineyard. You’re sure to learn a little something about soil health, Portuguese wine varieties, and what’s so special about the Texas Hill Country.
Cheers, y'all!
