Provencal Rosé is definitely the darling of the wine world at the moment, hugely popular with consumers and deservedly so. A blend of Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah, the wine went through a thermoregulated fermentation (a technical and impressive way of saying that the temperature was controlled throughout). An orange pink colour, the wine is of medium length, with good direction, bright acidity and a fresh and clean finish. There is a line of oyster shell acidity running the length. The nose gives us notes of citrus, raspberries and florals. Extremely pleasant drinking and should continue to be so 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.
