The marked improvement in the quality of Australian wines, this book says, is due in no small way to the role played in the production of wine by Oenologists trained at Roseworthy College, where A R Hickinbotham developed and directed the course. 'Hick' was a 'seeker of truth' and a most exact and precise man of science. This book pays tribute to the man and the College.
