The consequences of climate change with rising temperatures mean that winegrowers are being forced to consider new adaptation strategies in their selection of grape varieties and sites. This book sets out the necessary basic principles on the subject and provides answers to some extremely topical questions, while also explaining the causes and impacts of natural site factors. What roles do weather, climate and soil play in winegrowing? What do we mean by terroir? Here, you'll find out the meaning of the term terroir and its importance for our winegrowing regions.
