Abstract

IntroductionVineyard terroir is recognised as a critical component of assessing grape and wine quality (Wilson , Haynes , White et al. ). Terroir is a state factor model that incorporates the synergistic interaction of the unique physical characteristics of a vineyard, such as the geology, soils, geomorphology, biologic organisms, grape cultivar, and climate, fostering an understanding of how the combination of these factors is imparted into the character and quality of the grapes produced in that vineyard. In addition to the elements of the physical environment that influence the unique attributes of grapes and wine, human factors involved in viticulture and winemaking, such as vineyard management, viticultural practices, and vinification techniques, also contribute to the character and quality of the grapes and resulting wine. Therefore, terroir is a function of the soil (S), organisms (O), grape cultivar (G), climate (C), landscape (L), and vitiviniculture (V), [Terroir = f (S, O, G, C, L, V)]. The vineyard soil, in particular, is one of the most influential terroir factors due to its critical role in the absorption of water and nutrients by grapevines that affects the synthesis and accumulation of secondary metabolites in grapes (Van Leeuwen et al. , Cortell et al. ,
