An intriguing blend of Cinsault, Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, Syrah and a dollop of Rolle (perhaps better known to us as Vermentino), provide us with a fresh and delicious Provencal Rose. This is pale pink in colour, with elegance and poise. The nose offers rose petals, a very soft touch of strawberries, florals and fresh garden herbs. Clean and lingering, a wine of medium length, there is an appealing energy to it. Finishes with a gentle fade and will provide thoroughly enjoyable drinking over the next three to four 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.
