The essential guide to South African Wines

The current demarcation system of the South African Wine Industry often has little or no reference to the wines produced in these areas; neither does it indicate accurate geographical location. Thus, wine producing areas are presented in smaller demarcated areas, referred to as “Pockets”. The Pockets group together wineries based on their terroir (from available terroir information) with names indicating geographical similarity.
The essential guide to South African Wines presents the reader with a selection of the premium South African wine producers and explains why wines from one Pocket taste different from those of another Pocket.
The Guide takes the reader to the winery, armed with everything he/she needs to know — geographical and soil descriptions, viticultural techniques, winemaking methods, flagship wines, maps and GPS waypoints — to heighten the wine experience.
The partnership of local subject experts and internationally acclaimed wine writers and judges brings the latest research information to the reader. The easy-to-understand format, including explanatory text boxes for technical terms, demystifies the intricate world of fine wines and makes wine appreciation accessible to every wine enthusiast.
