The Australian Ark by Andrew Caillard (Collector's Linen Edition)
The Australian Ark by Andrew Caillard (Collector's Linen Edition) is an extraordinary three-volume chronicle that captures the rich and intricate history of the Australian wine industry from its colonial roots to the modern era. Authored by Andrew Caillard MW, a revered figure with over 40 years of influence in shaping Australia's fine wine landscape, this landmark work offers an unparalleled exploration of the people, events, and ambitions that have defined Australian wine.
Beautifully researched and elegantly written, The Australian Ark spans from 1788 to the present day, divided into three comprehensive volumes: Volume 1: 1788–1900, The Colonial Era; Volume 2: 1901–1983, Federation to the Modern Era; and Volume 3: 1983–present day, Contemporary Times – Recollections and Perspectives. This extensive narrative reveals how Australian wine has remained central to the nation’s cultural and economic identity, despite never eclipsing other industries like wool or mining.
Featuring a Canon of Australian Wine, the volumes intertwine captivating stories of iconic labels with the broader evolution of the country’s wine culture. This collection is not merely a historical account but a compelling testament to the challenges, heartbreaks, and pioneering spirit that have driven the industry forward.
Critically acclaimed, the work has been described by Tamlyn Currin of JancisRobinson.com as “probably the finest book I’ll get to review in my lifetime,” while James Halliday AM calls it “a triumph… remarkable, and beautiful.” Jeni Port of the Halliday Wine Companion praises it as “truly encyclopaedic,” acknowledging its ambitious scope in telling the complete story of Australian wine.
As a collector’s edition, this linen-bound set offers not only an authoritative reference but also a visually stunning addition to any wine library. It stands as a definitive resource for wine enthusiasts, historians, and industry professionals alike, encapsulating the legacy and future of Australian viticulture.
Discover the passion, heritage, and innovation that continue to shape Australia’s wine industry through the pages of The Australian Ark.
