The fruit here is sourced from Wrattonbully, part of the Limestone Coast. The team’s intention is to get this in the hands of the drinking public as soon as possible, so it spends just four months in stainless steel before bottling. This enables them to highlight the freshness and fruit flavours. Lemon straw in colour, the nose offers notes of citrus, spices and green apples, with a minerally backing. A touch of pink grapefruit is evident, but the pears and apples are to the fore. Bright acidity runs the length and the freshness makes this a thoroughly enjoyable example, for easy drinking of the variety. Now for the next 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.
