Three vineyards combine to produce the fruit for this fresh and energetic Pinot Gris – one from Padthaway, one from the Limestone Coast and the final vineyard from Wrattonbully. Fermentation is in stainless steel. Pale yellow/straw in colour, the nose reveals stewed pear notes, herbs and florals. It is finely balanced throughout and offers some elegance and focus. A slightly chalky backing, this is a wine of medium length. Attractive drinking now and for the next year or two.
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.
