Marlborough in the South Island of New Zealand, has undoubtedly become Ground Zero for Savvy lovers. These guys have been at it for a long time and this is a typical, full flavoured, zesty style with those attractive tropical notes of passionfruit and mango. Those who prefer the tropical in their Savvy, will love this. Also hints of rockmelon and a touch of citrus as well. There is soft acidity, medium length and a slight broadness on the finish. A crowd pleasing style for enjoying 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.
