Customer Reviews

Informative and practical by industry insider

Everyone in South Africa points visitors to this book when they inquire about wine. While it has informative discussions about SA wine and the wine industry generally, its true strength lies in its "guidebook"-style descriptions of the wines produced by each vineyard, with which vintages and specialties to pursue. While most of the wines profiled are not exported, the guide is an excellent source for anyone intending to bring wine home from South Africa, and is essential for anyone ordering wine directly.
