Book Description
The Future Makers is a groundbreaking new work by wine writer Max Allen, set to redefine Australia’s wine landscape for the new century. As global warming and continued drought threaten the state of the Australian wine industry, many winemakers are beginning to think long-term, and in doing so are starting to better understand the unique relationship they have with their vine-growing land. The Future Makers takes you around the country and introduces you to the areas and the people shaping Australia’s wine future. Regional chapters feature in-depth profiles of top winemakers – those who are upholding valuable traditions, those who are setting the standard for varietal wine quality and those who are at the cutting edge of innovation – plus tasting notes for all of their best wines. Also included are detailed explanations of why a region’s wines taste the way they do: a portrait of soils, climate, grape varieties and cultural influences that contribute to the singular qualities of Australia’s diverse wine styles. Throughout the book you’ll find extended discussions of the controversies and debates moulding Australia’s new wine tradition, and an exploration of the major issues and challenges facing Australia’s grape growers and winemakers. At the heart of The Future Makers is a celebration of the diversity, complexity and unmistakable flavour of Australia’s wines.

Book Description
Australia does not have unique or indigenous grape varieties and while grape growing practices and wine making techniques are fluid and innovative, they are inextricably tied to traditions that originated elsewhere. But the Australian wine industry is big. In 2017 Australia was the world's fourth largest exporter of wine, with sales of approximately $2.1 billion. Wine is produced in every state, with more than 60 designated wine regions totalling approximately 160,000 hectares (although Australia's most celebrated wine regions are mainly in the southern, cooler parts of the country). With such a variety to choose from how does the wine professional or serious consumer go about selecting the most delectable and interesting Australian wine?The way that Australia was settled and subsequently populated has informed the national character - a healthy respect for tradition combined with a 'have a go' mentality. This Australian attitude in combination with the uniqueness of the ancient geology, complex soils, quality of light and flora and fauna has had a dramatic influence on how the very best wines of Australia taste and feel.The primary goal of Mark Davidson's book is to capture the essence of Australian wine today, the factors that have shaped and continue to evolve the character and quality of the wines. He begins with an overview, including the history of the vine in Australia, its geology, topography, soils and climate, the major (and emerging) grape varieties, the history and evolution of viticulture and winemaking in Australia and labelling laws, before covering the wine regions by state. Each section contains an overview of the wine zones in each state followed by a detailed look at the major regions, including the people who are shaping the future of Australian wine.
