An organic Savvy from the Central Ranges in New South Wales, the colour is a gleaming pale lemon. Quite a low key nose at this early stage, we do have some herbal notes with citrus, gooseberries, spices and grapefruit. Gooseberries do seem to be a hallmark of this wine over the years – a plus for me. It is attractively perfumed with balance and very good length, as well as a fine line of acidity. Good focus, this is a more restrained style than some. Enjoy over the next two to three years. For me, a step up on the previous vintage.
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.
