Characterisation of the effects of regional variation on the fruit composition and wine style of Sauvignon Blanc

Brief: Differences in Sauvignon Blanc wine styles within Marlborough are attributed to sub-regional variation in environmental factors (climate and soils). However, the extent to which environmental factors contribute to differences in fruit composition and wine style is currently poorly understood. The objectives of this project are to understand the extent to which sub-regional differences in climate and soils impact on vine phenology and fruit aroma and flavour development.
