Making sense of a sense of place: precision viticulture approaches to the analysis of terroir at different scales

Abstract: Traditional ‘terroir zoning’ has largely relied on heuristic ‘expert’ opinion coupled with approaches to land classification based on thematic mapping to describe the influence of soil conditions and climate on wine composition. Recent advances in geographical information systems (GIS) and digital mapping have enabled more robust quantitative methods to be developed, but with few exceptions recent terroir research has remained reliant on heuristic opinion and conformity to previously defined terroir units, rat… Show more

“…It was established in response to the 1994 Australia–EU Wine Agreement (Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade 1994) and even though some Australian vineyards contain vines that are more than 100 years old, neither Australian terroir research, nor the geographical indications system, follow the long histories of established denominations and AOC rules, as they do in Europe. Accordingly, problems created by the reliance of much previous ‘Old World’ terroir zoning research on a mixture of heuristics, expert opinion and conformity to existing denominations (Ballester 2020, Bramley et al 2020, Brillante et al 2020) may be avoided. Data‐driven analysis may be especially useful in facilitating this.…”

“…The Barossa example was inspired by the efforts of local winegrowers to examine within‐GI variation in their terroir with a particular focus on Shiraz wines (see http://www.barossawine.com/vineyards/barossa-grounds/). Thus, Bramley et al (2020) clustered publicly available soil and climate data as a means of examining the extent to which subregions within the Barossa might be justified in relation to the biophysical component of regional terroir. Their results contrasted somewhat with a previous analysis based on a more traditional approach to land‐use classification (Robinson and Sandercock 2014) and, more importantly, appeared to contrast with how local Barossa winemakers thought the GI could be split into so‐called ‘Grounds’ whose wines might be perceived as distinctive.…”
