Dataset Type Spatial
Description A vector based representation of Geographical Indication (GI) boundaries as defined in the Register of Protected Geographical Indications and Other Terms (the Register) in accordance with the Wine Australia Act 2013 (Commonwealth). The dataset contains only GIs located within the state of South Australia. GI features are attributed with a number of summary viticultural, climatic and topographic information.
Dataset Use The dataset functions as a best spatial representation of the boundary and extent of a GI as used in the labelling of wine. Various commonly published information associated with the terroir of a given GI are also included, allowing comparison among GIs, including GI systems found in other wine-growing regions of the world e.g. appellation d'origine contrôlée.

Data Quality

Lineage Each GI has an associated textual description that legally defines its extent and always takes precedence over this dataset and any map products derived thereof. The dataset cannot be used as a defensible legal representation of GI boundaries. Boundaries have been captured at various scales (1:50 000 to 1:1 000 000) and by various methods including digitisation from published topographic and cadastral map sheets. As such the data are considered of low spatial accuracy. Summary data (gi_area_km2_pub, growing_deg_days, growing_season_rain_mm, mean_jan_temp_degc, planted_area_ha_pub, crush_prev_yr, varietals and exp_market) is obtained from Regional Snapshot reports published annually by Wine Australia. Usual harvest period data is obtained from the Halliday Wine Companion website published by HGX Pty Ltd. Areas are derived from feature geometry projected to GDA94 Australia Albers coordinate system (EPSG 3577). The Vineyards (metadata ID 1988) dataset is used for vineyard area calculations. Source data used for calculation of elevation statistics (gi_elev_min, gi_elev_max and planted_elev_min) is SRTM-derived 1 Second Smoothed Digital Elevation Model (DEM-S) Version 1.0 published by Commonwealth of Australia (Geoscience Australia). This is a raster based digital elevation model, gridded at 1 arc second (~30 m) spatial resolution, with elevation values expressed relative to the Australian Height Datum (AHD).
