Description: "Though the New Zealand wine industry really began only fifty years ago, vines and winemakers have now spread across the land - from Central Otago to Kumeu, Waipara to Wairarapa - to produce notable wines for New Zealanders and the world.For half a century, geographer and wine enthusiast Warren Moran has followed the development of the industry, talked to the winemakers and tasted the wines. In this book, he provides an unrivalled introduction to New Zealand wine: the climate, soils, and geography our winemakers work with; the grape varieties they have tried to tame; and the extraordinary personalities, families and companies who have made the wine and the industry"--Publisher information.
