A very different style of Savvy from what most local winelovers will be familiar with. From the Bordeaux Blanc appellation in the Entre-Deux-Mers region, this is a deep yellow bronze hue. Quite pungent with some tropical notes poking through, spices, passionfruit and mango. This is a ripe, supple wine of mid-length, but plenty of flavour and a nice flick of acidity. Enjoy now and over the next couple of years. For those looking to see something different, here we are.
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.
