# Boost your wine quality with Hemp

## New Research Tells You How.

According to new research by two New Zealand experts, Dr. Mark Krasnow and grape grower Kirsty Harkness, hemp could be a suitable cover crop for Sauvignon Blanc vineyards in Marlborough, reported High Times citing New Zealand Wine Grower.

The three-year study revealed that the presence of hemp had no impact on vine growth and instead had positive effects on both the soil and wines.

The hemp plants showed adaptability without needing the extra watering. Moreover, it enhanced the wine quality compared to grapes grown without the presence of hemp.

“Hemp plants grew large roots to at least 30 cm and were able to grow in compacted tractor wheel tracks in the row, where the root system can alleviate compaction caused by vineyard operations,” researchers said. “Juice/must samples from the 2019 harvest showed a higher diversity of yeast species from the hemp area than the control and produced perceptibly better wine.”
