Description: From the red earth of Calabria to the vast plains of the Riverina, this is the story of one of Australia's most quietly influential wine producers. Tracing Warburn Estate's evolution from fortified beginnings to a modern, multi-label operation behind familiar names like Gossips and Rumours, the book explores the geography, viticulture, and industrial craft required to make wine at scale. Along the way, it unpacks the economics of accessible wine in Australia and takes readers inside the vineyards, the winery, and ultimately the glass. A grounded, illuminating look at how everyday Australian wine really gets made.
