Ken Gargett comments on the Hidden Garden
Courier Mail, Brisbane
Ken Gargett - lover of Bruce Springsteen and one of Australia's most experienced wine journalists. His thoughts on the Hidden Garden follow.
"For anyone who has been living in a deep cave in Bhutan for the past two decades Kiwi sauv blanc from Marlborough has set the wine world alight. Hesketh's Hidden Garden ($25) has a local link, with Jonathon Hesketh, an Aussie making wine from Kiwi grapes. The label is by favourite Brisbane artist Melissa Egan. It blew the others away, proving why lovers of savvy flock here. With pungent gooseberry and herbal notes, it is intense in the extreme with good acidity."
