This fine drop is made by passionate organic grape-growers Kevin & Tina Karstom. Their gorgeous vineyard has been organic and certified since the early 70's and produces some exciting and fresh wines including the 2005 KK's Choice Botobolar Shiraz.
Located 10 minutes north-east of Mudgee, Gil Wahlquist established Botobolar in 1971 using organic practices and it is Australia's oldest organic vineyard. It was taken over by Kevin Karstom in 1994 who has continued and further enhanced the organic credentials & reputation of the label with his wife Trina. The vineyard produces some of the best grapes in the region and any excess are snapped up by some of the major wine companies. The 2003 vintage was still in the midst of the drought, so the yields were low, but the quality was high.
Colour: Deep rose red
Nose: Very floral, violets & musk
Palate: Big juicy ripe fruit flavours. Even tannin balance and great mouth feel suitable for drinking young with big up front fruit. Light fresh cherry finish. Enjoy this summer with barbequed eye fillet steak.
