| Nick Glaetzer - now growing grapes in Tasmania. |
Some consider climate
change “crap”, but many have a counter view; a view that is being reinforced by
measurable and understandable changes to their livelihood.
Reuters reports: ”Climate change signals the end of Australian shiraz as we know it”, telling the story of Nick Glaetzer who moved
from the famous Barossa Valley in South Australia to Tasmania.
Glaetzer's winemaking-steeped family thought he was crazy
when he abandoned the Barossa Valley - the hot, dry region that is home to the
country's world-famous big, brassy Shiraz.
The young Australian vintner headed south the island state
of Tasmania to both strike out on his own and prove to the naysayers that there
was a successful future in cooler climate wines.
