A blend of the three Rhône varieties – Grenache (45%), Shiraz (35%) and Mataro (20%) – which hail from a variety of South Australian regions, including the famed Langhorne Creek. Crimson red in colour, we have notes of strawberries, florals, raspberries and even a hint of red jellybeans. A soft and appealing palate with typical Grenache-y tannins, a mix of the silky and ever-so-slightly sandy. Decent length with warm earth notes emerging on the palate, a lingering finish reveals the full flavours here. Now for five to six 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.
