Smart Richard

The Australian viticulture expert Dr. Richard E. Smart (*1945) studied agricultural sciences at the University of Sydney. He gained further degrees at Macquarie University through studies on the influence of sunlight in vineyards, and on canopy management at Cornell University (New York State) under Dr Nelson Shaulis (1913-2000). In 1995, he was awarded the degree of Doctor of Science by Stellenbosch University (South Africa) in recognition of his achievements in the study of foliage management in terms of its impact on yield and quality. Dr Smart has also been extensively active as a publicist. He is the author of the book "Sunlight in Wine", the author of many articles in professional journals, as well as the main contributor to the viticulture section of the "Oxford Companion to Wine" (edited by Jancis Robinson).
