Now we’re talking Rosé. This is a cracking good example of a contemporary Australian Rosé. It comes from Blewitt Springs soils in McLaren Vale, one of my favourite wine regions. Normally associated with Grenache and Shiraz table wines, but in this case, it has worked beautifully as a Rosé. Lovely aromatics from the Grenache, slightly rose-petal perfumed. The palate, though, is something else. It’s light-bodied as you would expect, but there’s a textural influence and a remarkable degree of complexity. Fine, lifted acidity carries through to a lovely finish, with those light red fruits dominant. This is a cracking good example of Rosé.

His first articles were published in the early issues of national wine magazine Winestate in the late 1970s when he worked in Sydney as a newspaper correspondent. From 1989 Ray wrote more than 3000 columns as a regular newspaper wine columnist. He currently writes a regular column for the special business publication Business News and is one of the main contributors to national wine platform Wine Pilot.

His love of wine is as strong as his love of the blues and tasting the thousands of wines that cross his bench each year allows him to indulge in both.
