Jurassic, basalt, moraine, flint, alluvial, magma: what are these
words and what do they have to do with wine? The answers are here
in this book. They are geological terms that reflect a bond between
wine and the land. Understanding geology, however, is tricky.
Geological concepts are obscure; processes can be imperceptibly
slow, invisible, and unimaginably ancient. The terminology is
formidable, such that even the names of common rocks carry an air
of mystery. Geology is introduced plainly, starting with basic
principles, all in the context of wine. The emphasis is on the
kinds of processes that shape vineyards, and on the minerals, rocks
and soils that host the vines. Geological words now commonly seen
in wine writings are systematically explained. You will learn the
stories behind some of the names, the human face of geology. The
book also explores how the geology-wine connection manifests in the
finished product and evaluates its importance, particularly in the
contexts of minerality, terroir, and wine taste. The fact is that
geology is increasingly being promoted in the world of wine; the
aim here is to help it be properly understood.
