Winery Review:
The Ballast Stone refers to the ships that used deliver Ballast Stone from the UK and fill up with wool and grain for the return trip. These days it refers to the winery owned by the Shaw family with vineyard holdings in McLaren Vale and Currency Creek. This premium wine offers quality at a price to please. This fresh, spritzy style is full of floral and tropical fruit flavours, before a sweet palate that’s balanced with a clean, acid finish.
My Review: I really enjoyed this wine because it had a little bit of a fizz to it even though it is not a sparkling wine, which gave it a little more personality. The nose was not very strong on it and had hints of sunshine and a dry fruity smell. On the palate it was not dry at all and tasted like a mixture of pineapple, apricot and a small amount of mango. It was very refreshing and I would say on the sweeter end of medium sweet. It was not too sweet, but definitely sweet.
I did not taste this wine with any food.
