The Wine Opus
If thud-factor is what you’re after, this reference book will do the job. Reputable names such as Jamie Goode, Sarah Abbott MW and Jane Masters MW combined forces to collate 800 pages of content that covers regions from North America through to New Zealand, Germany and the Middle East. The Wine Opus documents more than 4 000 of the world’s most signifi cant wineries, exploring regional characteristics, recent vintages and includes detailed maps of each region.
While one may think that the focus would be on well-established producers, the authors have gone to great lengths to highlight rising stars, too. South African brands represented include Boekenhoutskloof, Chamonix, Cape Point, Iona and Scali, among others.
The Wine Opus is a must for any serious wine lover’s book collection.
Available from leading bookstores for R790.
