 | | In response to a growing movement to classify Australian wine in more regional terms, this "geography" of wine looks at Australia's wine regions and subregions-from Victoria, Tasmania, and South Australia to New South Wales, Western Australia, and Queensland. |
 | | It provides a brief history and details on location, altitude, and general topography of the regions, as well as a discussion of soil quality and climate control, descriptions of regional differences in grape cultivation and wine making, and harvesting times and methods. |
 | | Important wine styles and grape varieties of each region are summarized, including pinot noir, cabernet sauvignon, chardonnay, Adelaide Hill, riesling, and semillon. |
