Full of flavor, yet low in alcohol

By Stephen Quinn | China Daily | Updated: 2011-09-03 07:48

Red Rock vineyard in Australia grows wine on the side of a dormant volcano west of Geelong in Victoria's Otway ranges. The area looks a little like a moonscape, with deep craters and towering rock walls.

The region's soil is rich in minerals. Add low rainfall and a cool climate, and the result is a unique terroir.

The vineyard's label is simple, with minimalist information. At the top of the label is the phrase "Otway's lakes and craters". This beautifully describes the land in which the vines grow - a terroir that produces wines full of flavor and grace, yet mercifully low in alcohol compared with some of the monsters made in Australia.
