What is absolutely amazing about this wine is the name. Amazing to think that in all these years, no one thought of using it for a delicious offering from Langhorne Creek. This wine is a fruit salad of varieties – 45% Grenache, 30% Touriga Nacional, 18% Malbec, 5% Graciano and 2% Shiraz. The end result is a wine of ruby/purple hue with notes of red berries, warm earth, milk chocolate, coffee grinds, leather, raspberries, plums and licorice. A supple texture with very fine tannins, the palate sees the emergence of more dark fruit notes. Nicely balanced, there is a lingering finish. For enjoying over the next five to six years. Terrific value.
Ken was born and bred in Brisbane, Queensland. He had a non-trendy, perfectly happy childhood, in a family convinced alcohol meant instant condemnation to Hades. But a break fishing on the Great Barrier Reef, and some good wine, started a serious obsession that eventually took over. It did not stop Ken being chastised later for drinking Pol champagne, disgusted he’d drink anything made by a Cambodian dictator. Now, Ken mostly writes on wine, champagne and spirits for various newspapers, magazines and books, but is perhaps best known for his work in The Courier Mail. He also has a little sideline writing on cigars, fishing, travel and food. When not writing, fly-fishing for trout in NZ or bonefish on the flats of Cuba, travelling or smoking cigars, he is no doubt following a variety of sporting teams – the occasionally glorious Queensland Reds rugby, the dysfunctional Washington Redskins, the dodgy Arsenal and especially revels in the world restored to its proper axis with the return of the Ashes to their rightful home.
