How well do you know Terroir?
I've talked about the concept of terroir before. Terroir is a French term that describes how environmental factors -- such as climate, soil and methods of farming -- influence grapes and create a unique, regional, signature for different grapes. This translates to the same grape often producing very different wines depending on the region.
Here is a fun little game. Below are pictures of three different vines and their surrounding soil. One is from Brane Cantenac in Bordeaux, one is from Kunde winery in Sonoma and one is from North Gate Vineyard in Loudoun County
Can you determine which one is which? Leave your answer in the comments section.
