The Frankland River region continues to stake a claim for inclusion amongst Australia’s great Riesling regions – look out the Clare and Eden Valleys. The colour here, what there is of it as the wine is near transparent, is a very pale, clean lemon. The aromas swirl through citrus notes of all manner – limes, lemons and some grapefruit with a touch of honeycomb. There is a line of slick saline acidity with excellent length and a persistent finish. Finely balanced, well cellared bottles should see ten to twelve years, possibly more.

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.
