The concept of terroir is reflected from year to year in the characteristics of wines from a particular wine region, district or site, which are inimitable even if they are produced in exactly the same way. In addition to anthropogenic factors, terroir is also characterised by geogenic factors. Terroir studies help to identify sites or growing areas within wine-growing regions that have the potential to produce high-quality wines. Digital tools can be used to monitor climatic parameters quickly and automatically, and the data collected is very important for planning new vineyards.

The project will improve the vinograd.si digital portal as follows:

•  on the existing portal, we will develop upgrades with a detailed display of meteorological data from the meteoblue spatial algorithm for selected vineyards (up to 10 per wine-growing district) for each wine-growing district at representative vineyard locations.
• at the level of wine-growing districts and sub-districts, lithological and morphometric (geomorphological) maps will be created at various scales, with descriptions of the geogenic factors of the terroir at two levels (expert and user-oriented description). The user will be able to obtain an automatically generated report on the geogenic factors of a given location.
• A data storage system will be developed for future processing.

The proposed upgrade will facilitate the decisions of winegrowers when implementing technological measures in the vineyard. The vinograd.si digital portal will also make it possible to obtain reliable expert information.
