Question: Would you please give me your best wine definition of the word Terroir?
Answer: Yes this has been quite difficult to get a definitive unanimous all-inclusive correct answer. OIV (The International Organization of Vine and Wine) has the best one I have seen and suggests this:
Vitivinicultural “terroir” is a concept which refers to an area in which collective knowledge of the interactions between the identifiable physical and biological environment and applied vitivinicultural practices develops, providing distinctive characteristics for the products originating from this area. “Terroir” includes specific soil, topography, climate, landscape characteristics and biodiversity features.
