  • Spatial Analysis of Climate in Winegrape Growing Regions in Australia
    Hall and Jones Climate in winegrape growing regions in Australia 389 Spatial analysis of climate in winegrape-growing regions in Australia_100 389..404 A. HALL1,2 and G.V. JONES3 1 National Wine and Grape Industry Centre, Charles Sturt University,Wagga Wagga, NSW 2678, Australia 2 School of Environmental Sciences, Charles Sturt University, PO Box 789, Albury, NSW 2640, Australia 3 Department of Environmental Studies, Southern Oregon University,Ashland, OR 97520, USA Corresponding author: Dr Andrew Hall, fax +61 2 6051 9897, email [email protected] Abstract Background and Aims: Temperature-based indices are commonly used to indicate long-term suitabil- ity of climate for commercially viable winegrape production of different grapevine cultivars, but their calculation has been inconsistent and often inconsiderate of within-region spatial variability. This paper (i) investigates and quantifies differences between four such indices; and (ii) quantifies the within-region spatial variability for each Australian wine region. Methods and Results: Four commonly used indices describing winegrape growing suitability were calculated for each Australian geographic indication (GI) using temperature data from 1971 to 2000. Within-region spatial variability was determined for each index using a geographic information system. The sets of indices were compared with each other using first- and second-order polynomial regression. Heat-sum temperature indices were strongly related to the simple measure of mean growing season temperature, but variation resulted in some differences between indices. Conclusion: Temperature regime differences between the same region pairs varied depending upon which index was employed. Spatial variability of the climate indices within some regions led to significant overlap with other regions; knowledge of the climate distribution provides a better understanding of the range of cultivar suitability within each region.

Tonnes purchased may be slightly higher than the sum of tonnes in all price ranges as some fruit does not have a price specified. 2. Where there are fewer than three purchasers of a variety, the average price and total value are not reported. 3. The estimated non-response rate nationally is 9.5%; however, the non-response rate varies for each region. Generally, regions with more small wineries and less purchased fruit will have higher non-response rates. As the number and identity of respondents can change from year to year, changes in the size of the crush can be partly attributable to changes in the non-response rate.

From the oldest wine region in the country (the Hunter Valley) to the youngest, (New England), wine lovers are rewarded with an enormous grape diversity. From warm to cool NSW has it all. The varied nature of the climate and terroir mean that countless varieties are planted, creating regional heroes that are unique and expressive. From the delicate chardonnays with natural acidity from Tumbarumba in the Snowy Mountains, to spicy shiraz of the Canberra district, to medium bodied Hunter shiraz and world- famous semillon, NSW is an enviable State to be in. Canberra District Established in the 1970s, the Canberra region comprises three sub regions with more than 30 wineries and 350 hectares of vines. The area produces stunning riesling with high acidity and elegant spicy shiraz wines. Climate: continental Best varieties: shiraz and riesling Must-see cellar doors: Lark Hill Winery, Clonakilla, Eden Road Wines, Helm Wines, Capital Wines Dining: Grazing at Gundaroo, The Poacher’s Pantry Key experience: The Poacher’s Way food and wine trail Events: The annual International Riesling Challenge in Canberra; Canberra District Wine Harvest Festival.
