There was a time when staid old wine critics would have deemed this a wine only fit for hippies (do they still exist?). Natural, organic, vegan, you name it. Today, it nails the brief which so many winelovers want to see so enjoy. Sunset is right – it is precisely the colour of a glorious Island sunset, if ever I saw one. Florals and spices here, with strawberries and a hint of citrus emerging on the finish. Fresh it certainly is. This might be simple but it is designed for easy drinking thanks to medium length and a touch of weight. Attractive drinking – don’t be fooled that this is not worth a serious look.
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.
