Classic Wines of Australia

More about the book

this completely revised and updated third edition of this unique and popular book provides a comprehensive insight into even more of the greatest wines made in Australia and New Zealand over the past 50 or more years. James Halliday s notes on vertical tastings cover all the most famous names; equally absorbing are the notes for the classics of tomorrow, wines known only to a few. A brief introductory background is given to each of the wines chosen, and tastings range far and wide across sparkling wines, white table wines both dry and sweet dry reds and fortified wines. No other book on Australian wines has ever approached the subject in this way. Like the wines it describes, this book is destined to become a classic.
