We’ve looked at a number of the Harewood Rieslings, including several from this vintage, and they never miss a beat. A pale yellow/green in colour, there are lovely lemon aromas here. A hint of lavender among the florals. This is exhibiting a slightly riper, more tropical, fuller style than some of the lean, minerally Rieslings we see, but still has a lovely line of acidity and good focus. Still crisp with some attractive citrus notes, this will drink well over the next six to seven years, lnger if aged Riesling is the style that you prefer. A fine wine for matching with quality seafood. You like Riesling? Then Harewood should be on your radar.
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.
