A fine Adelaide Hills Savvy from a single vineyard in the Woodside sub-region. Minimal skin contact and a long, slow, cool ferment, all designed to retain freshness. A pale lemon hue, flecks of green. This is very much in the tropical mould with oodles of passionfruit and mango plus a nice flick of citrussy acidity running the length, through to a soft finish. A wine of medium length, this is for enjoying over the next couple of years. Those who prefer that tropical style of Savvy will adore this.
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.
