The fruit for this Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc comes from a vineyard which has the Onkaparinga River running through it. A single clone of Savvy, fermentation is in stainless steel tanks with a touch of oak fermentation to add to the complexity. Quite a pungent style of Savvy, which will appeal to many. It sways to the herbal style rather than the tropical, and offers notes of grapefruit, gooseberries and nettles. Good focus with a little grip, it is a fresh wine and should drink well over the next two to three 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.
