Grafting varietal Burgundy grape scions onto native (Hunter Valley) root stocks is the most effective way for a new Hunter Valley grower to plant a vineyard to produce Burgundy. This is because the rootstocks of native grapes are adapted to the local soil and climate conditions and are more resistant to pests and diseases than imported plants. The scions, which are the branches that produce the grapes, can be obtained from French varietal Burgundy grapes and grafted onto the Hunter Valley rootstocks.
