Let’s get down and dirty and talk about terroir, in particular soil. Terroir is a word tossed around flippantly in the wine world without much explanation. Simply put, it is a reference to the “sense of place” where grapevines grow. This can include location, weather, altitude, rainfall, fog, proximity to water, angle to the sun or aspect, and many other elements, including soil.
In this episode, Charisse and Kristi break down the most common soils ideal for vineyards and explain how the differences can influence wine long before harvest, fermentation and bottling. Geomorphology, climate, flora and fauna as well as traditions can play a part in terroir. But the one grounding element is the soil.
Join us as we deep dive into the grungy, dirty, dusty topic of soil!
Cheers!
Charisse and Kristi
