From the Les Crayères Vineyard in Wrattonbully, this is a high density vineyard. The 2025 vintage was warmer and drier than average and we are seeing wines of generosity. Fermentation here was mostly in old oak barrels with 38% in stainless steel. 1,760 six-packs made. The colour is a very pale lemon/straw. On the nose we have an intriguing mix of herbals and tropicals and there is a touch of apple. Quite a forceful style, not lacking in flavour, the wine is of medium to good length and has a line of fine acidity. Flavour just rolls along in waves. Enjoy the next two to four 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.
