Only free run juice used here with this blend of 55% Sauvignon Blanc and 45% Semillon from the Denmark sub-region of the Great Southern which enjoyed a cool fermentation in stainless steel. The colour here is near transparent. An elegant and refined style of Sauv Sem with some citrus and a hint of the tropicals. Nicely balanced, this is bright, fresh and vibrant with juicy acidity, a flinty background and impressive length. A delicious style, very much easy drinking to enjoy over the next three years. Lots to like and ideal for a good plate of fresh seafood.
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.
