AI Innovation in Viticulture

In this episode, Jono sits down with Professor Carlos Poblete Echeverria to explore how AI is reshaping the future of viticulture. From electrical conductivity sensors that map soil variability to smartphone tools that detect leaf roll virus in real time, the conversation unpacks how data-led farming is changing how wine is grown and made.

They delve into why better data in the vineyard means less intervention in the cellar, how AI is opening the door to more precise and expressive winemaking, and why the next generation of producers will be defined not just by their tools, but by how well they understand and use their data.
