Interesting article about terroir and the relation that humans/winemakers have in the equation for producing wine. It’s fascinating to think about the perspective the winemaker from the article has about the impact of terroir on wine compared to the impact from a winemaker. From studying wine I feel that terroir is the foundation of the production of wine. Humans play a large role in the vineyard in ways of management that help balance the forces of nature that humans can’t control. When the grapes are harvested for wine production the natural factors of terroir have a different level of impact. I think from there, the terroir is then experienced in the aroma and taste of a wine. The aroma and taste of a wine is shaped in different ways by winemakers and their winemaking styles. Would definitely love to hear more on this and different perspectives from colleagues and people in the wine industry.

From Old World to New: Unveiling the Mystique of Burgundy vs. American Pinot Noir, Blog #277 Wine enthusiasts often debate the virtues of Old World versus New World wines, with each region offering a unique expression of the same grape varietal. Among these, the distinction between Burgundy wines from France and Pinot Noir from the USA stands out as a fascinating study of terroir, tradition, and innovation. Burgundy, a region steeped in winemaking history, produces Pinot Noir that is celebrated for its complexity and depth. Across the ocean, American Pinot Noir, particularly from Oregon and California, has risen in prestige, challenging its Old World counterpart with bold, fruit-forward profiles. Integrating the influence of yeast into the flavor profiles of wines from Burgundy and the USA offers an intriguing perspective on winemaking practices. Winemakers in both these regions use yeast to craft their distinctive versions of Pinot Noir. This blog delves into the heart of these wine regions, exploring how differences in climate, soil, and winemaking philosophies influence the world-class Pinot Noir they produce.

🌿 Discovering the Heart of Our Wines: The Terroir of DOC Lison Pramaggiore 🍇 At Casere our journey in winemaking has always been an exploration of the unique terroir that blesses our vineyards in the DOC Lison Pramaggiore region. 🍷 The microclimates in this area play a pivotal role in shaping the very character of our wines. Each vineyard we tend to tells its own story, a narrative woven by the interplay of soil, climate, and vine. From the moment the sun's first rays gently kiss the vines to the cool, moonlit nights that provide respite, every element of our terroir leaves an indelible mark on our grapes. The soil composition, the angle at which the vines bask in sunlight, and the proximity to bodies of water - these are the unique ingredients that contribute to the tapestry of flavors in our wines. Our wines are more than just a beverage; they're a voyage into the soul of this region. They carry with them the whispers of generations of winemakers who have tended to these very vines, and the echoes of centuries of traditions. I'm genuinely excited to embark on a journey to share these terroir-driven narratives with our international partners. Each glass of our wine is like a postcard from this stunning corner of the world, a message of nature's artistry, and the craftsmanship of our winemakers. #WineTerroir #VineyardDiscoveries #WineJourney #ExportManager #WineAppreciation #CustomerSatisfaction #casereaziendaagricola #wine #italianwine #sparklingwine  #prosecco

Careful balance and commitment leads to Champion Pinot Gris Trophy Rapaura Springs Reserve Pinot Gris 2023 has won the Label and Litho Champion Pinot Gris at the 2023 Marlborough Wine Show, sponsored by QuayConnect. It’s the second year in a row Rapaura Springs has been recognised at the awards, last year taking the trophy for the champion current vintage Chardonnay. Winemaker Michael Bann says the company has a non-negotiable commitment to quality from the vineyard right through to the winery. He tells how this commitment is continuously helping them to achieve quality, award-winning wines… Congratulations on winning the Champion Pinot Gris trophy at the Marlborough Wine Show this year. Can you tell us a bit about what makes this wine special? Thank you. Our Reserve Pinot Gris is made from several subregions across Marlborough, including Blind River, Rapaura and Taylors Pass. The depth and variety of flavour and fruitfulness sets this wine apart. It is balanced and the aromatics just pop in the glass, the flavours on the palate are ripe and lingering. Was there anything in particular about the 2023 vintage that made it a stand out? The weather was variable, but the settled period coming into harvest allowed the vines to ripen fruit optimally, achieving fantastic fruit flavours and sugar/acid balance. We are always aiming for balance in our wines, and I think this is an example of when we get things 100% right. What do you think makes a great Pinot Gris and what makes Marlborough a great place to achieve this? Marlborough’s generally settled weather and the diurnal shifts in temperatures across the valley, allow for fruit with ripe flavours with natural acid balance. It's then up to the winemaking team to make the correct picking call. Marlborough is a unique climate, with young fertile soils with an industry full of passionate people, set on making some of the world’s best wines. We are also lucky to get variations in fruit flavours (a natural fruit salad) due to the subregional characters evident in our different sites. In our Pinot Gris we see white to yellow stone fruit characters, through to ginger, spice and some Turkish Delight.
