This comprehensive collection brings together the most influential writings on viticulture by Nicholas Herbemont (1771-1839), widely regarded as the preeminent winemaker of the early United States. Spanning his career, Herbemont cultivated over three hundred grape varieties in his garden, the size of a city block, in Columbia, South Carolina, and in his vineyard, Palmyra, just outside the city. Born in France, Herbemont meticulously examined the prevailing methods of growing, pruning, processing, and fermentation in Europe to determine their efficacy in the southern climate. His treatise, Wine Making, originally published in the American Farmer in 1833, became a seminal guide for generations of American winemakers, renowned for its accuracy and reliability.
In his introductory essay, David S. Shields places Herbemont not only in the annals of viticulture in America but also as a prominent advocate for agricultural reform in the South. He championed practices such as crop rotation and soil replenishment, and he vocally criticized the slave-based cotton culture that prevailed in the region.
Herbemont's contributions to viticulture and his unwavering support for sustainable agricultural practices have left an indelible mark on the history of the field. His writings continue to inspire and guide winemakers and agricultural enthusiasts alike, as they seek to cultivate the finest wines and promote sustainable farming practices for generations to come.
