What is terroir. How terroir affects the taste of wine.

Today we will talk with you about the terroir. What is it?

So

, terroir is a combination of all the local factors of winemaking that determine the bouquet of wine before aging. But in short, the terroir is the medium of origin.

There

are four main points that affect the taste of wine.

After harvesting, corking, fermentation of the bottle, the most interesting begins. Then biochemical transformations begin to occur, which are directly related to the soil where the grapes grew, with the climate, etc.

⠀

First: the soil, 100% of this item is the most important for grapes, its composition, thickness, content of macromicroelements.

Point number two is the climate, the most important pattern here. The hotter the country, the more tart the wines, the cooler, the more fragrant the wines.

The third point is the relief, mountains, lakes, proximity of rivers, oceans, all this can really affect the taste of wine.

For example, our Arba Wine vineyards are located in a unique place where the steppe rises directly into the mountains.

⠀

And finally, the fourth point is, of course, flora and fauna. Indeed, wine absorbs everything: both the plants that grow nearby and the animals that live there. All this has a huge effect on the taste of wine!
