Hentley Farm The Skinbone 2014 Grenache Rose

What can we say? In episode 88, we ventured off the beaten track to a Rose, a Grenache Rose to be precise.

This one was from Hentley Farm in the Barossa Valley and it performed true to form.

Guest judge, Ian Horne from the Australian Hotels Association SA, was struck by the colour.

Somewhere between dark pink and light crimson, he said.

Nigel was convinced that if he were blindfolded he would have sworn he was drinking Chardonnay.

While Steve was intrigued by the bright but light fruit tones, partly strawberry and partly glace cherry.

Hear the tasting for yourself and get the special codeword that is not printed anywhere to make your entry in the competition worth 5 entries. The tasting starts about 6 minutes in.

Win a bottle of this wine

The Arkaba Hotel has partnered with us so that it can let our fellow wine lovers know you can safely order wine by the glass through their Enomatic System. So, instead of getting a tired glass of wine from a bottle that was opened days ago, which is a dreadful experience for serious wine drinkers, at the Arkaba they can guarantee freshness just like the winemaker intended.

To be in the draw to win this week’s wine, you only have TWO things to do:

1. Make sure you’re on our In Crowd mailing list. This little email gets sent every Friday morning with details about the week’s show. You can sign up here and once you’ve signed up you’ll be qualified to play any of our competitions for life.

2. Mention the term Skinbone on our Facebook Page, or in a tweet to @TheAdelaideShow, or just email us using that term to podcast@theadelaideshow.com.au. Pick whichever one works best for you but do it BEFORE 11.59pm, Monday, May 4, 2015, South Australian time of course, and on Monday we will email the winner with details of how they can collect their wine from The Arkaba.
