Made from South Aussie Shiraz which is cool fermented in stainless steel, the wine has less than one gram of sugar per litre (we are told by the boffins that the average human cannot detect sweetness in wine if it is less than four grams per litre, so this is bone dry by name and bone dry by nature). This is the very palest orange/pink. Lovely red fruit perfumes here, and a note that is reminiscent of an iced VoVo biscuit (a positive thing). Also some delicious raspberries. The texture is along minerally lines and the wine has a line of fine acidity. Enjoy this over the next couple of years.
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.
