Umberto Eco’s ‘The Name of the Rose’, is the winery’s choice for reading with a glass of this fine West Aussie Pinot Gris (nice to know some people are still reading books). The series does have terrific labels. The colour here is a pale straw/lemon. Very attractive aromas, there are minerals, crisp pears and honeysuckle to be found. These are supported by a supple and seductive texture with very good length. A Pinot Gris with balance and a lingering finish which never loses its intensity. Enjoy this over the next two to four years. A cracker.
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.
