Reading a Wine Label from Australia

Key:

  1. Mountadam: The producer.

  2. Eden Valley: The region of origin. Eden Valley is in Southern Australia.

  3. The Red: The name of the wine.

  4. Cabernet Sauvignon - Merlot: Grape varieties used. As neither grape comprises 85% of the wine, the wine does not qualify for varietal labelling, and so both grapes in the blend are detailed.

  5. 1998: The year the grapes were harvested (the vintage year).
