In the wine industry, the term "terroir" is often mentioned. But what does it actually mean?
Simply put, terroir refers to the combination of soil, location, origin, and the craftsmanship of the winemakers. Ultimately, it is the people who interpret these natural conditions with knowledge, skill, and intuition, making them tangible in the wine.
