This is an indispensable guide to selecting a wine. Only great wines are included, with detailed notes and vertical tastings. The book is written by a top writer with impeccable qualifications. "Classic Wines of New Zealand" is a celebration of the country's classic wines. New Zealand's premier wine author Michael Cooper provides in-depth profiles of wines that have consistently achieved excellence and outstanding success, and discusses many emerging stars. He explains how the wines are made and the major reasons why they stand out above others. Through 'vertical' tastings of past vintages, he gives insight into the style of each wine and its cellaring potential. The aim is to cut through the bewildering and ever-growing array of wines on the market to focus on those with a proven track record. It is both a must-have title for wine lovers and a great starting point for those interested in finding out what makes a great wine a true 'classic'.
