What's it all about?

 The aim of this site is to:

  => provide information about every Australian Winery
  => place each winery in a sub-region with its own unique #‘terroir’
  => provide a tour map showing the location of each winery in its sub-region
  => summarize the soils, landscape, climate, seasonal weather patterns and history of each sub-region
  => develop search engines so that users can quickly find the winery by name, label, and nearby town.
  => promote the unique attributes of Australia’s wine regions and sub-regions.

     # Terroir is the french word for "soil," but when applied to wine it has a broader definition referring to the broad range of
         conditions that apply to the growth and ripening of grapes in a specific region. This includes soils, elevation, slope,
         aspect, climate and seasonal weather patterns. Grapes produced in each region will contain quintessence of the
         region, the minerals and extracts from its soil, landscape and climate and other virtues, which will characterise
         the wine produced and impart the unique virtues of the sub-region to each of the wine varieties grown there.
