As with the previous vintage, the blend here is 70% Grenache and 30% Mataro. This is a cracking Rosé. A pale orange hue, the nose reveals notes of florals, rose petals, redcurrants and strawberries. A fresh and most appealing nose. There is a clean, dry finish here, though the exuberance of the flavours offers delicious fruit sweetness impressions on the palate. There is juicy acidity here, with good persistence and a lingering finish. For enjoying over the next couple of years. The quality of Aussie Rosé has skyrocketed over the last decade or so and this is yet another fine example.
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.
