This book is a scientific analysis of the climatic factors affecting wine grape production. It provides a reasoned basis for the term 'terroir' and examines how future climate change may alter current thinking about viticulture and winemaking. Dr John Gladstones was instrumental in the establishment of the Margaret River wine district in WA. This is the successor to his earlier volume 'Viticulture and Environment' (now out of print), which was a relevant and sought after resource. This is not a revised edition of his original book in which he covered the topics of terroir and climate change in part, but rather an in depth exploration of these issues based on historical and scientific evidence and their interaction with viticulture
