Description
Terroir and Other Myths of Winegrowing by Mark A. Matthews explores the traditional explanations of wine production that have been passed down through generations. However, these beliefs often predate scientific understanding and can limit innovation in viticulture. The author applies a scientist's skepticism to examine widely held assumptions about grapevines and their environment. He investigates whether terroir is primarily a marketing concept or if reducing yield is essential for high-quality grapes and wine. By debunking common myths of winegrowing, Matthews aims to help achieve a higher quality in wine production.
