Advantages: Refreshingly light and fruity Disadvantages: Too easy to drink
the vineyards now occupy in 1857. The first vines were planted on a ten acre plot in 1885 and the first customers, local Italian tobacco workers.
The operation, based in the Victoria area of southeast Australia, has subsequently gone from strength to strength, having survived many vicissitudes, and is now run by members of the third and fourth generation of the Brown family. The company?s five vineyards cover over 1,100 acres and, within the 30 miles radius they occupy, there is an extraordinary range of climatic conditions from hot sunny plains to temperate valleys and cool alpine areas. Each vineyard produces grapes which have been specially chosed according to the climatic conditions, some 80 varieties at the last count.

It is much clearer than the 'run of the mill' reds, much deeper than a Rosé wine but paler than a red, so I picked up the bottle to read the description. This told me that Tarrango is a unique Australian grape developed to produce a light bodied red wine. Now that might have put me off buying it in the supermarket but as it was already in my glass I was somewhat too late to make that kind of judgement so I tasted it.
