meristem viticulture
Meristem viticulture is a consulting service operated by Dylan Grigg. My focus is on helping to link thoughtful and practical viticulture to achieve fruit for wines of the highest quality. With over 20 years working in a wide range of regions and areas of viticulture, I combine practical experience with a PhD level foundation in science to deliver in-depth analysis, advice and solutions.
I approach and apply my knowledge of published science with real experience, scuffed boots and the practical manner of a hands on viti.
I am passionate, driven and strive to connect grape growing sites to unique and expressive wines. I enjoy working with like minded people that share the same passion for the connection between environment, viticulture and wine making.

Untangling
vineyard performance
Viticulture is a complex web of interdependent variables. Untangling this web or even knowing where to start to search for understanding is important. I enjoy tackling this web and then clearly communicating this understanding in practical approachable language, tailored to individuals goals.
Working together with clients I understand their key objectives or concerns, then together we collaboratively create a plan to identify the limiting factors and opportunities to find the most holistic path to achieve the desired outcome.
It is often possible to identify some of these factors or inject new ideas via a casual conversation in a single site visit. Ongoing support is provided to find and implement solutions in the most appropriate and cost effective manner.
