Overview
Written by the world's most authoritative wine duo, Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson MW, the unparalleled clarity and detail of the maps remain core to the Atlas. Each of the 200 maps has been thoroughly researched and updated. Reflecting the happenings over the last six years in the world of wine, the pages devoted to the New World will show a lot of changes. Three new maps are being added to California (Rutherford, Oakville, Stags Leap), three to Australia (Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, Limestone Coast), two to New Zealand (Central Otago, Martinborough), plus one for South Africa (Constantia). The South American section receives a complete revamp. In Europe the dynamism of the new Old World is in evidence, with Sicily, the Douro, Greece and Germany all receiving extra pages. In Spain, new kid on the block, Toro makes an appearance and Austria s vinous hotspots Wachau & Kremstel fall under the spotlight. With new illustrations and photographs throughout, this will be the must-have book and reference work for all wine lovers and trade professionals.
