A fine Pinot Grigio from the Sud Tirol region, more specifically Trentino/Alto Adige. Deep straw hue, with the merest hint of green flecks. The nose provides aromas of pears, nuts, hessian and stonefruits, while the palate sees the emergence of orange rind. A supple texture, seamless, and with good intensity, there is good length here, and a lingering finish plus a fine line of acidity. Enjoy it now and over the next two to four years – an excellent introduction to Italian Pinot Grigio
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.
