Dear author,
I found your paper very interesting and of great help for the readers of SOIL
I wish to suggest some recent publications to be cited to make the paper even more updated and helpful
See below
New technology and the vineyards in terraces (such a wonderful and sustainable landscapes!!!!)
Tarolli, P., Sofia, G., Calligaro, S., Prosdocimi, M., Preti, F., & Dalla Fontana, G. (2015). Vineyards in terraced landscapes: new opportunities from lidar data. Land Degradation & Development, 26(1), 92-102.

How to solve environmental problems in vineyards
Novara, A., Gristina, L., Guaitoli, F., Santoro, A., and Cerdà, A.: Managing soil nitrate with cover crops and buffer strips in Sicilian vineyards, Solid Earth, 4, 255-262, doi:10.5194/se-4-255-2013, 2013.

Tillage and solutions to the tillage
Lieskovský J, Kenderessy. P. Modelling the effect of vegetation cover and different tillage practices on soil erosion in vineyards: a case study en Vráble (Slovakia) using WATEM/SEDEM. Land Degradation and Development, 25, 288-296. DOI: 10.1002/ldr.2162.2014.

The last of soil erosion in vineyards
Martínez‐Casasnovas, J. A., Ramos, M. C., & Benites, G. (2015). SOIL AND WATER ASSESSMENT TOOL SOIL LOSS SIMULATION AT THE SUB‐BASIN SCALE IN THE ALT PENEDÈS–ANOIA VINEYARD REGION (NE SPAIN) IN THE 2000s. Land Degradation & Development.| DOI: 10.1002/ldr.2240

The use of copper and other chemicals
Fernández-Calviño, D., Garrido-Rodríguez, B., López-Periago, J. E., Paradelo, M., and Arias-Estévez, M. 2013. Spatial distribution of copper fractions in a vineyard soil. Land Degradation & Development, 24: 556- 563. DOI 10.1002/ldr.1150

And finally two papers from SOIL that show the need of a broad view of the soil problems which are clearly show in your paper
Zornoza, R., Acosta, J. A., Bastida, F., Domínguez, S. G., Toledo, D. M., and Faz, A.: Identification of sensitive indicators to assess the interrelationship between soil quality, management practices and human health, SOIL, 1, 173-185, doi:10.5194/soil-1-173-2015, 2015.

Brevik, E. C., Cerdà, A., Mataix-Solera, J., Pereg, L., Quinton, J. N., Six, J., and Van Oost, K.: The interdisciplinary nature of SOIL, SOIL, 1, 117-129, doi:10.5194/soil-1-117-2015, 2015.

Short summary

Terroir chemical and biological footprinting and geospatial technologies are promising for the management of terroir units, particularly remote and proxy data in conjunction with spatial statistics. In practice, the managed zones will be updatable and the effects of viticultural and/or soil management practices might be easier to control. The prospect of facilitated terroir spatial monitoring makes it possible to address the issue of terroir sustainability.
