Description

An audacious bushranger with a thirst for stolen wine, a dramatic vineyard murder in the hills near Perth, clandestine stills, gaudy kites and balloons doing bush battle with rapacious birds... there's certainly more to viticulture than meets the eye.

When Michael Zekulich' award-winning Wines and Wineries of the West came out in 1990, it was hailed as a long-overdue and definitive review of an exciting growth industry. During two subsequent reprints, demand for Western Australia's Australia's distinctive, stylish wines continued unabated as new plantings came on-stream and more vignerons took up the challenge. Wine Western Australia reflects both the solidity and ebullience of this expanding and important sector of our agricultural heritage. With a new name, many more new faces and hundreds of new labels on display, Zekulich's greatly enlarged sequel offers a unique insight into all the richness and complexity of the grape. No fewer than 116 of the State's wine producers are featured - from vineyards of a modest few hectares to industry leaders with hundreds - and an entirely new region, Pemberton-Manjimup, makes an appearance along with the more established areas in the Swan Valley, Darling Range, coastal plain, Margaret River and Great Southern.

To assist wine buffs on tour, there are colour location maps and winery opening times listed. As well, a special section on winetasting skills and individual grape varieties will add to the reader's knowledge.

With roots firmly in the past, yet a healthy eye to the future, both the wine industry and the State's largest financial institution share common traditions and goals. It is therefore fitting that BankWest has embraced this book as a centenary venture.
