This book is a scientific analysis of the soil and climatic factors
affecting wine grape production, and thus, ultimately, wine itself.
It provides a reasoned basis for the term 'terroir', and critically
examines the science of climate change and how it could affect
viticulture and winemaking. Dr John Gladstones is an
internationally recognised authority on climate and viticulture,
and among other achievements was instrumental in the establishment
of the Margaret River wine district in Western Australia. 'For
anyone interested in the future interaction between climate,
climate change and viticulture, this book simply has to be read. Dr
John Gladstones's painstaking research is the foundation for his
equally carefully constructed conclusions that robustly challenge
mainstream opinions. - James Halliday 'Just when I thought I had it
all sorted after 18 years of travelling with Viticulture and
Environment and giving a copy to all of my friends, the grand old
renaissance man of viticulture has produced Wine, Terroir and
Climate Change. Not only do I have to buy a whole new set of his
books to give away, I have to rethink my long term viticultural
strategy of defence against climate change in the much more
comfortable logic he presents of the resilience of terroir. John
Gladstones's intricately researched understanding of climate
mechanisms and history, geology, soil and biology has created a
welcome antidote to climate hysteria.' - Brian Croser 'This is the
eagerly anticipated successor to Viticulture and Environment - and
it does not disappoint. After a prodigious amount of research, Dr
Gladstones has delivered a thought-provoking mixture of science,
history and inspired deduction in this masterful work. Without any
doubt, his views on the causes of climate change are controversial
- and I look forward to the debate that will inevitably ensue.' -
