Terroir Hesse – Soil determines wine style
The project “Terroir Hesse” works out the main type and characteristics of soil-based terroirs and the resulting wine styles for the hessian wine-growing regions Rheingau and Hessian Bergstrasse.
Ten years soil diagnosis in vineyards, with particularly analysis of organic and microbial mass and measuring their evolution
Since 1996, we study the soil in viticulture, specially in the South of France. In the field, we delimit soil units and observe soil profiles and take samples to analyse its physical, mineral, organic and microbial mass composition
Spatial variability of the nutrient distribution in Jerez vineyard soils (Spain)
From a fertility standpoint, the vine has to extract from the soil mineral substances necessary for its existence. However, the amount of certain available nutrients does not always correspond to a proportional increase in quality.
Influence of soil type and changes in soil solution chemistry on vine growth parameters and grape and wine quality in a central coast California vineyard
The objective of this study was to determine the influence of four soils with contrasting chemical and physical properties on vine growth parameters and wine chemistry in a Paso Robles, California Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard
Rare earth elements distribution in grape berries
Rare Earth Elements (REEs) include 15 lanthanides, yttrium and scandium. Their occurrence in soil and plants seems to be closely tied to the geological composition of the underlying mother rock, to the physical and chemical properties of the soil and to the specific ability of the plant to take up and accumulate these microelements.
