Product Description

Australia's Geographical Indications Systems redefined its wine regions and this book maps them out in detail. The book works through the regions, sub-regions and zones, providing a brief history, and details on location, altitude and general typography. The varieties of each region are summarised, and a discussion of soil quality and climate leads into descriptions of regional differences in cultivation and wine-making, harvesting times and methods.
