terroir mapping

Terroir mapping is the process of analyzing and visualizing how specific environmental factors—such as climate, soil, topography, and vineyard practices—affect the characteristics of grapes and the wines they produce. By creating detailed maps, winemakers can identify how these conditions influence flavor, aroma, and quality, enabling more precise vineyard management and winemaking decisions. Essentially, it helps connect the unique natural features of a location to the distinct qualities found in its wines, fostering better understanding and optimization of the vineyard's potential.
