Created by 12 of the best known wine families in the country (from Brown Borthers to Yalumba), Australia's First Families Of Wine (AFFW) is an exciting new initiative that seks to showcase a representative and diverse range of Australian wine, with a focus on regional heroes and top iconic drops. The AFFW is all about the land, it's people and solid Australian beliefs. It is the heart and soul of our wine industry.
Chronicling the histories of the families who pioneered our wine industry over generations, 'Heart And Soul', is a lavishly illustrated volume covering the families' trials and tribulations on the land, their ascent within the industry, the inspiration behind their siganture wines and, of course, the passion that goes into every vat.
More than a compendium of wine, 'Heart and Soul' takes readers on a journey through the history, the people, the vineyards and the regionsof Australia's most famous wineries. To taste the wines of the AFFW is to taste our Australian heartland.
