Une unité de terroir naturel (UTN) peut être définie comme une unité de terre qui est caractérisée par une relative homogénéité topographique, climatique, géologique et pédologique. De telles unités sont de grande valeur pour mieux comprendre le système terroir/vigne/vin. Le but de cette étude est de caractériser la région viticole du Bottelaryberg. – Simonsberg-Helderberg en utilisant une information digitale existante et d’identifier des UTN en utilisant un Système d’information Géographique.

In grafted plants, such as grapevine, increasing the diversity of rootstocks available to growers is an ideal strategy to get adaptation to climate change. The rootstocks used for grapevine are hybrids of various American Vitis, including V. berlandieri. The rootstocks currently used in vineyards are derived from breeding programs involving very small numbers of parental individuals.

Emerging from anthropology, climatology, ecology, gastronomy, geography and wine tourism, terroir tourism has been recently recognized to have potential for developing rural agriculture tourism

Chemical and sensory changes occurring in red wine during ageing in oak barrique are due to the slow and gradual entrance of oxygen along with a release of ellagic tannin from the wood. Though oxygen can enter the cask through the bunghole, it is not clear the role of permeation through the wood staves as well as the amount of oxygen entering by permeation. The distribution of the released ellagic tannins in the wine ageing is also unknown. The oxygen passing through the bunghole may have a different wine ageing effect compared to the oxygen permeating through the wooden staves owing to the uneven ellagic tannin concentration throughout the wine.
