This is a seriously good value Savvy, from the Limestone Coast, specifically the three regions of Mundulla, Padthaway and Coonawarra. A pale lemon hue with green flecks, the wine is dominated by tropical notes. It also offers herbal notes, peaches, citrus, most notably grapefruit, but it is the passionfruit which is to the fore. Well crafted, this has a refreshing streak of acidity running the full length. A Savvy with some class, and a lovely lingering finish. Enjoy this now for the next three years. Lots to like.
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.
