Synopsis
In response to a growing movement to classify Australian wine in more regional terms, this "geography" of wine looks at Australia's wine regions and subregions-from Victoria, Tasmania, and South Australia to New South Wales, Western Australia, and Queensland. A brief history and details on location, altitude, and general typography of the regions are given. Discussions of soil quality and climate control, descriptions of regional differences in grape cultivation and wine making, and harvesting times and methods are included. Important wine styles and grape varieties of each region are summarized, including pinot noir, cabernet sauvignon, chardonnay, Adelaide Hill, riesling, and semillon. The result is an encyclopedic yet accessible guide to Australian wine and vineyards.

Finally-a comprehensive reference book on Australian wines...If you need information on a winery, you can find it here. -- Wine Skinny
This is as good a guidebook to Australian wine geography as you're likely to find. -- Wine Spectator, Dec. 31, 2000
