The title includes profiles on 100+ wineries, the SA Brandy route and Garagiste wines. There is an overview of the local wine styles and grape varietals, practical South African wine tasting, starting and investing in a cellar and buying and collecting South African wines. Detailed regional, as well as one-day Pocket driving maps, make The Essential Guide to South African Wines - Terroir and Travel easy to use for both local and international wine enthusiasts.
