Mysteries of good wine production
Television and Radio
Air, sun, wind, rain and soil are some of the factors that effect the growth of grape vines. These, together with others such as temperature and drainage, somehow combine in parts of Bordeaux and Burgundy in France and in parts of Germany to produce wine of unequalled quality.
How much do we know of this process? To what extent is it still a mystery that small parcels of land in an area produce great wine and others next door do not? Dr Derek Milne, a soil scientist with the D.5.1.R., talks in the concert radio i programme tonight about ;
the factors invoked in France and Germany. He then looks at prospects for the production of good wine in New Zealand in relation to the soil and climate in different parts of the country.
