Burns, Chair Robert B. Perkins Andrew Fountain Martin LaFrenz Teresa Bulman Portland State University 2016 © 2016 Kathryn Nora Barnard Abstract Terroir is determined by a combination of factors in the vineyard including the grape varietal, geology and soil, soil hydrology, physiography, and climate. Although most studies have examined regional differences in wine flavors and associated provenance of wine based on chemistry, few have examined the chemistry of the soil and the ability to trace that chemistry to grape juice and, finally, to the wine.

“La Battalla” Red Blend Quady North
QUADY NORTH “LA BATTALLA” Quady North founder Herb Quady grew up on his family’s winery in RED BLEND Central California and spent some years working for Bonny Doon and completing a Viticulture and Enology degree at Fresno State. A position with Troon Vineyards took him to the Applegate Valley AVA in the Rogue Valley sub-region of Southern Oregon. Quady saw the potential of the Applegate Valley with a more mild climate than the greater Rogue Valley that surrounds it. Cool air is drawn into the valley in the afternoon and the open fields and forests of the area cause heat to escape the vineyards overnight causing 40°F diurnal shifts. These cooling factors are pronounced in the mid-to-late part of the growing season pushing ripening later in the year and drawing out the savory characteristics of Cabernet Franc, Syrah, and Viognier. The Varietal/Blend: 72% Cabernet Franc / 28% Malbec varied soils of the AVA are composed by ancient river beds, flood Farming Practices: practicing organic and biodynamic / plains, stream terraces and alluvial fans/benchlands.
