From the Orange region in New South Wales, and made in accordance with carbon neutral procedures, this thoroughly enjoyable Pinot Grigio spent six months maturing in stainless steel, on its lees. The colour is a steely pale lemon. On the nose, we have notes of citrus, crisp pears, spices, lemons and stewed apples. Linear in style with good focus and balance, the wine is of medium length. Juicy acidity runs the length, providing freshness. Enjoy over 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.
