This book builds on the award-winning success of The Wines and Vineyards of New Zealand which ran to five editions. It provides a comprehensive overview of the wine industry in New Zealand and contains information on grape varieties, regional variations in climate and soil, and wine-making techniques. Michael Cooper, one of New Zealand's premier wine critics, combines his knowledge with a lively writing style to capture the spirit of individual wineries. Sumptuously illustrated with photography of vineyards and wine-makers, wine label art and regional maps, the Wine Atlas of New Zealand offers invaluable guidance and information to the connoisseur and amateur wine-lover alike.
