Book Reviews of The Wines of Chile (Classic Wine Library)
Book Review: An exceptional guide to Chilean wine
Summary: 5 Stars
If you want an in-depth look at the world of wine in Chile, this is the volume to buy. Peter Richards provides a historical introduction to Chilean winemaking followed by chapters on viticulture, modern winemaking and grape varieties used in Chile. Then he takes the reader region by region through the main vineyards of the country, providing brief backgrounds on such famous bodegas as Concha Y Toro, Errazuriz, Santa Rita to the lesser known - Casa Marin, Amayna, Anakena, etc...
Easy to read, easy to peruse, another must for the wine lover's library. Peter Richards truly appreciates Chilean culture as much as wine with references to Pablo Neruda and Isabel Allende. This book is the most up-to-date and the most detailed on the market. Excellent.
Summary of The Wines of Chile (Classic Wine Library)
Chile has been producing excellent wines for five centuries, but it wasn?t until the 1980s that they became widely available around the world. In the first book to focus exclusively on Chilean wines, award-winning writer Peter Richards outlines the fascinating history of Chile?s wine industry and explores its wide range of wine styles and wine-making techniques. With the help of ten detailed maps, he takes the reader on a tour of the country?s diverse terrains and major wine-making areas?including Maipo, Casablanca, Cachapoal, Colchagua, Maule and Elqui?and provides an extended listing of leading producers and their best wines.
