The renowned Margaret River wine region features heavily in a new wine book that covers every aspect of Australia's best wine-growing regions. 

Wine journalist Angus Hughson has just released a book he co-authored, The Wine Journal, charting the greatest wineries, regions and vintages in Australia.

"Margaret River just has an amazing climate, essentially, it has oceans on three sides and that means it never gets too warm and that cooling influence gives a beautiful vibrancy and energy to the wines, particularly the chardonnay and cabernet sauvignon," he told 6PR Afternoons host Jo McManus.

"Some wine books are just a bunch of tasting notes, we want to give people a journey ... so that they feel more comfortable talking about wine at their next dinner party."

The Wine Journal also looks at other wine regions outside of Australia, as drinkers become more interested in the international varieties and styles.
