The Essential Guide to South African Wines: Terroir & Travel (R195) is the second edition of the illustrated guide to South Africa's premium wines.
Published by Cheviot, it presents the wine-producing regions in the simple wine pockets system. Individual pockets highlight a specific terroir unit along with local wine styles, providing insight into the specific qualities of each wine-producing area.
The guide helps you to select a pocket, jump into the car and visit some of the wineries of that area.
Detailed relief maps provide GPS co-ordinates and are backed by downloadable waypoints and routes on the website www.cheviot-publishing.com
Every pocket takes you on a journey, discovering the terroir, viticulture, winemaking techniques and the flagship wines of some of the top producers.
The wine tasting chapter helps you to understand and serve wine.
This up-to-date, informative reference work provides vital local knowledge on the practicalities of visiting the winelands. - Caroline Hurry
