| Abstract:
Vineyard site selection for production of wine grapes requires special attention to ensure wines of desired style and quality are produced, and to tailor vineyard management practices to maximize site potential. On the basis of detailed location analysis, this paper proposes a regionally based numeric site indicator that enables precise vineyard site evaluation. The results of site environmental characterization, vine growth and fruit quality potential are presented for the following wine regions: Hawke's Bay (New Zealand), Mornington Peninsula and Cowra (Australia). | |
