What techniques are used to grow top quality grapes and make the world's best red wines? Winemaker Mark Stanley presents the art and science of Enology in an easy to read format from the perspective of the professional winemaker, covered in enough detail to serve as a practical reference for amateur grape growers and winemakers. Refined grape growing techniques, crushing regimens, yeast types, fermentation protocols, malolactic fermentation, oak barrels, and cellaring processes are discussed in depth.

The tale weaves a thread that begins in the alpine meadows of the Jura mountains, and moves into mystical journeys of self-realization in the labyrinth and secret underground temple complex near Rennes le Chateau in southwestern France.
