The New and Old Australia: A Wine Drinker's Guide

By Jonathan RossJane LopesKavita Faiella, et al.

The New and Old Australia is a fresh and relevant perspective on Australian wine: its many diverse regions, wineries, and people.

For the person who asks, "What book can I pick up to really know what's going on with Australian wine?" The New and Old Australia is the answer. Divided by state and then region, it considers: standout producers across the full spectrum from classic to natural and in-between; cellar door information; microclimates and geographical features; important trends and pressing issues, with insight from leading winemakers and growers on what's significant and special about their part of the wine world. Curated by three highly-credentialled (and opinionated) wine experts, this modern compendium will appeal to Australian wine lovers around the world. The New and Old Australia celebrates what it is to drink Australian while also offering critical insight into the formation of the country and its First Nations, linking the custodianship of First Nations and modern-day grape-growers. As well, it provides crucial know-how on the wine making landscape with information on climate change, Australia's GI system, and also explores the unique characteristics of each wine producing state with original maps of a detail that have yet to be shared in Australian wine scholarship.

Covering simply everything there is to know about this contemporary landscape in wine production, The New and Old Australia is the wine book we've been waiting for.
