    Kevin Judd is one of New Zealand's most respected winemakers, the man who created for the Sauvignon drinkers of the world the internationally celebrated cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc. Over the last decade he has also developed a reputation as one of New Zealand's most talented wine photographers, known from his evocative, lush and beautifully lit images from the wine regions of New Zealand and other parts of the world. In The Colour of Wine: Photographs from the vineyards of Marlborough, New Zealand, Kevin Judd's superb photography has been collected and presented for the first time in a book, to create a portrait of New Zealand's most famous wine growing region, Marlborough. This book has photographs of vineyards from all over the region, ranging from sweeping landscapes to finely-crafted details of grapes on the vine. The images have been gathered throughout the last seven years and arranged to follow the seasonal cycle that governs vineyard life. The book has an introduction by Michael Cooper, New Zealand's most acclaimed wine writer, which outlines both the history and the characteristics of Marlborough that combine to make it such a special wine region. The Colour of Wine is unique, a gifted winemaker's view of his own terroir. It will make a wonderful companion and keepsake for anyone with a love of wine or an affection for Marlborough.
