| From deep, supple and mouth-filling Shiraz to golden botrytised Riesling, from delicious gooseberry and grass-driven Sauvignon Blanc to the generosity of sunkissed Chardonnay, the ancient continent of Australia produces wines that equal the best in the world. James Halliday, one of Australia's foremost wine writers has written about every wine region in Australia – over seventy of them – in this definitive Atlas. Halliday describes the types of grapes grown in each region, the soil, the climate and the wine-growing history of the area, as well as giving an introduction to the most famous and respected wineries, and naming their signature wines.
