Description
Many of the great wine houses of Europe are still family-run affairs. Family continuity, stretching back in some cases for centuries, has guaranteed the survival of the extraordinary diversity of European wines, based on close attachment to the land and passionate commitment to a living tradition.
Harry Eyres has investigated ten of Europe’s most successful wine dynasties, including Antinori of Florence, Pol Roger of Epernay and Torres of Penedes in north-east Spain.
This is the first book to approach the great wines of Europe through a series of family portraits. Harry Eyres’s writing is strong not only on the technical detail of wine-making, but also on sense of place and character interplay.
