Also from the Grigoriou family vineyards in the Monash Valley, but we are not made privy to the grape varieties on display here. No matter, what is important is that this is a pleasing and enjoyable Rosé. Organic viticulture was employed, and again, fermentation was in stainless steel, followed by a short period on lees. A lovely pink/orange hue, the nose suggests dried herbs, fields of lavender, strawberries and raspberries. There is the impression of some fruit sweetness which lifts interest. A juicy style, of medium length and with a clean finish, 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.
