This wine is a blend of fruit from a pair of vineyards, one from the Limestone Coast and the other from Coonawarra. A brief period of skin contact before pressing and fermentation, this is very much a drink now style. A near transparent hue here, there is perhaps the merest touch of the palest lemon. A refined style of Savvy. The flavours include various spices, gooseberries, florals, citrus and herbal notes. There is good minerality behind the wine with chalky hints evident, as well as a fine line of acidity. Fresh, focused and with good length, drinking now is good but this will provide pleasure for the next three to four 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.
