A bright and fresh Rosé deemed Mediterranée, made from regions including Provence and surrounding areas. It is a blend of Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah. A gentle orange/pink sunset hue, there are rather powerful aromatics. Florals, raspberries, red fruits, spices and a minerally backing. There is also a very gentle touch of woodsmoke on this mid-length wine with a supple texture, which is best enjoyed sooner rather than later.
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.
