Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

Exploring how, over the last ten years, the world of wine has been transformed by the rise of New World wines - from Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and North and South America. Each country is focused on separately, with information on grape varieties and which wines to seek out.

Reseña del editor:

From the sun-baked soils of Australia to the breathtaking vineyards of South Africa, from the cool slopes of New Zealand to the long, hot stretches of the Napa Valley, the wine world has been transformed in recent years by the unstoppable progress of top class wines from New World countries. But why are these wines such a challenge to the traditional wines of Europe? Writers with a specialist knowledge of these countries and their wines have been brought together to find out.

An introductory chapter puts forward the New World/Old World debate. The influence of new technology in the vineyard and the winery is discussed, and the the effect of the 'Flying Winemakers', winemakers crossing the world to make wine in several different countries, is explored.

The book then travels through the countries themselves, region by region. The special characteristics of each, including climate, soil, grapes grown and resulting wine styles are covered, and each chapter concludes with a useful list of recommended makers and their wines.
