An Eden Valley sparkler, 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay, this is based on the 2019 vintage with contributions from both 2018 and 2023. A pale lemon hue, this is a fresh and easy drinking style of sparkling. Very much falls into the crowd-pleaser category. Florals and citrus notes, and the merest, but alluring, whiff of raspberries. A fizz of bright acidity, medium length and a clean finish, which will drink very well over the next two to three 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.
