Provencal Rosé continues to excite, providing delicious drinking and transporting one to the south of France, leaving us imagining sitting by the sea at a bistro enjoying a wonderful bowl of bouillabaisse. And this is a lot cheaper than an airline ticket. A blend of Cinsault, Grenache and Syrah, the team ensures the wine avoids malolactic fermentation, increasing the freshness. The colour is that of a pale sunset pink, while the nose offers aromas reminiscent of a delightful strawberry sponge cake. There are florals and red fruits. The wine has bright acidity, appealing balance and focus. This is elegant, subtle, very attractive and with a lingering finish. For enjoying any time over the next three years, this is a very fine Rosé.
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.
