From the Craneford sub-region in Eden Valley, this is a pleasing Riesling, and one which augurs well for the vintage. Gleaming light lemon in colour, the nose reveals aromas of citrus, especially limes, spices, steely wet slate, florals and a flick of orange rind. A wine of medium length, this is fresh, pristine and clean, well balanced, with a lingering finish. Enjoy over the next six to eight years, and there is every chance we’ll see the score rise in the coming 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.
