John Szabo’s groundbreaking new book, Volcanic Wines – Salt, Grit & Power, provides wine scholars and aficionados a seismic shift in how to look at terroir in future. By putting sharp focus on several of the planet’s unique wine growing zones developed around active and inactive volcanoes, Szabo clearly demonstrates a relationship between volcanic terroirs and specific flavour profiles, textures and aromatics that appear in wines made from grapes grown on these sites.
