Publisher's Synopsis
""Viticulture In New Zealand: With Special Reference To American Vines"" is a comprehensive guide to the cultivation of grapes and the production of wine in New Zealand, written by Romeo Bragato and originally published in 1906. The book covers a range of topics, including the history of viticulture in New Zealand, the climate and soil conditions that are ideal for grape growing, and the different grape varieties that are best suited to the region. Bragato also provides detailed information on the cultivation of American vines, which were introduced to New Zealand in the late 19th century and quickly became popular due to their resistance to phylloxera, a pest that had devastated European vineyards. The book includes practical advice on vineyard management, such as planting, pruning, and pest control, as well as guidance on grape harvesting and wine production.Overall, ""Viticulture In New Zealand"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and practice of grape growing and winemaking in New Zealand, as well as those looking to learn more about American vines and their cultivation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
