Q

Australia: Discuss the nerd details of Coonawarra soil

A

Clay soils are permeable and free-draining; good water retention to support vines through dry summers with good drainage too. Hard limestone = roots struggle to penetrate, which restricts access to water. It’s also alkaline which restricts nutrients. This will control vigor and leads to lower yields of concentrated grapes. The soft limestone underneath retains water.
