Description
This covers the classic wine varieties, from Chardonnay to Merlot and all wines in between. The always thorough wine expert James Halliday first looks at the international history of each variety and the principal regions of the world where those varieties are grown, and shortlists the best producers in those regions. He then traces the history of those varieties in Australia, and how the wines are made, before taking a region-by-region approach, with a list of best producers.
