The Wine Atlas of New Zealand

The first atlas devoted entirely to New Zealand wines and wine-making. Visually stunning and authoritatively documented, this Atlas builds on the award-winning success of the author’s prior tome which ran to five editions. As New Zealand wines rise to top international status in world competitions they are increasingly sought after in Europe and America. The curiosity and interest in learning more about these extraordinary wines intensifies. No other book or even group of books provides as much information and insight into this magnificent wine-growing nation, the terroir, the people and the end product. Each region is detailed with first-hand essays on the producers, vital statistics and tasting notes. An illustrated history of the wine industry, technical overview of the climate, soils and wine styles and thirty specially commissioned maps establishes this as the essential reference on the subject.
