New Zealand Wine growers have a downloadable book that many probably don’t know about – it can be downloaded from the nzwine.com website.
New Zealand Wine – A comprehensive guide to the wine regions and varieties

Cover
New Zealand produces only 1% of the world’s wine, but has an international presence and reputation that far exceeds that, due to its diversity, world-leading focus on sustainability, and of course its distinctly New Zealand expression in the glass.
There is much to learn about New Zealand wine, across regions and sub-regions, varieties and winemaking techniques, climates, soils and viticultural techniques, and wine and food matching.
Here are some images from the book to give you an idea of content.
