Grape Expectations

Cliff Richard and Olivia Newton-John are two of the stars who are turning in a vintage performance.

By Johnny Ray

Newton-John (right) has something more to sing about the success of her wines Koala Blue Chardonnay and Koala Blue Shiraz, the result of a partnership with Australian company Snowdon Wines.

Winemaker Andrew Byers describes the Chardonnay as “fruit-driven with tropical, peach and citrus aromas and a structure to please all palates’, and the Koala Blue Shiraz as a “combination of red fruit, cherry and spice flavours with a soft, velvety texture”. There is nothing complicated about either, and both are modestly priced.

They are available through Fullers (020 8996 2000) at £5.35 per bottle. Visit www.koalabluewines.com.au.
