After a wild fermentation, this Riverland Pinot Grigio was left on lees and stirred regularly for three months. A very pale straw colour, the nose is redolent of crisp pears and minerals, figs and apricots. A supple, alluring texture, this is a gentle style and offering easy drinking pleasure. An ever-so-small flick of residual sweetness adds to the textural character of the wine and the relatively low level of alcohol (10.5%) helps to make this rather more-ish. A mid-length wine which is pleasant drinking now and should remain so for at least the next two to three years. Good value.
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.
