THE ESSENTIAL GUIDE TO SOUTH AFRICAN WINES: TERROIR AND TRAVEL — a brand new illustrated guide on the wines of South Africa. This guide presents the existing wine-producing regions in the new Wine Pockets system. Individual Pockets highlight a specific terroir unit along with local wine styles, providing an overview of the unique qualities of each wine-producing area. Detailed regional, as well as one-day Pocket driving-maps, make THE ESSENTIAL GUIDE easy to use for both local and international wine enthusiasts.
Maps include Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates to all featured places of interest. Every Pocket takes you on a meaningful journey, discovering the terroir, viticulture, winemaking techniques and the flagship wines of some of the top producers. The wine tasting chapter demystifies the language of wine, while the investment chapter broadly describes the financial landscape to those who dream of owning their own winery.
This up-to-date, informative reference work provides vital local knowledge on the practicalities of visiting South Africa's Winelands. Over 300 commissioned photographs and full-colour illustrations will entice you to drive out and visit these places of great wine.
