Book excerpt: From deep, supple and mouthfilling Shiraz to golden botrytised Riesling, from delicious gooseberry and grassdriven Sauvignon Blanc to the generosity of sunkissed Chardonnay, the ancient continent of Australia produces wines that equal the best in the world. The enormous geographic variations in Australian landscapes and soils ensure that every variety of wine grape flourishes in its optimum growing environment somewhere in the continent, whether it be the cool climate of Tasmania for Pinot Noir, or the Mediterranean summers of Margaret River in Western Australia for Cabernet Sauvignon.
