The team has sourced fruit from the lower slopes of the Central Ranges in New South Wales. Past years have seen them make the wine in the Pinot Gris style but this year, with fermentation in stainless steel, no oak, and only a brief four weeks on lees before bottling, it is very much Grigio. An appealing yellow in colour, there are hints of florals, apples and pears and some crisp and crunchy acidity, with a tight texture. A wine of medium length, this is an easy drinking style, which would be ideal with some fresh local seafood. Now and 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.
