1 00:00:07,133 --> 00:00:10,453 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack Tame podcast 2 00:00:10,573 --> 00:00:11,693 Speaker 1: from News Talks AB. 3 00:00:12,853 --> 00:00:16,013 Speaker 2: Cameron Douglas is our master Soamelier and for his pick 4 00:00:16,093 --> 00:00:18,933 Speaker 2: this week, he has chosen a Tahu Peno Greed from 5 00:00:18,973 --> 00:00:23,333 Speaker 2: twenty twenty five the Awaitedi Valley in Marlborough. It retails 6 00:00:23,333 --> 00:00:25,613 Speaker 2: for about nineteen dollars and Cameron's with us this morning. 7 00:00:25,693 --> 00:00:28,733 Speaker 3: Good morning, good, good morning. How are you very well? 8 00:00:28,773 --> 00:00:31,453 Speaker 2: Thank you? So tell us about the Tahu Penal Gree. 9 00:00:32,453 --> 00:00:37,133 Speaker 3: Well, Tahu Wines a very special producer because not only 10 00:00:37,173 --> 00:00:40,893 Speaker 3: founded in nineteen ninety eight, they're the world's first Maori 11 00:00:41,013 --> 00:00:45,133 Speaker 3: owned wine company and I think that's pretty special. The 12 00:00:45,293 --> 00:00:49,533 Speaker 3: location for their vineyards for this particular wine is the 13 00:00:49,653 --> 00:00:53,053 Speaker 3: Auitre or Autree Valley, and I know lots of listeners 14 00:00:53,093 --> 00:00:56,453 Speaker 3: will know Marlborough generally speaking, and you know the fame 15 00:00:56,493 --> 00:00:59,053 Speaker 3: of Sauvignon blanc from there. This is more on the 16 00:00:59,093 --> 00:01:04,093 Speaker 3: eastern side and a northern facing vineyards, so you get 17 00:01:04,133 --> 00:01:06,053 Speaker 3: to see the South Island on a clear day. That's 18 00:01:06,053 --> 00:01:12,653 Speaker 3: pretty cool. This wine is all about or pinagree should 19 00:01:12,693 --> 00:01:18,533 Speaker 3: always be about palet weight, freshness and flavor and including 20 00:01:18,613 --> 00:01:21,253 Speaker 3: sort of the sparkling wine and panaware and chardoney riaslings 21 00:01:21,373 --> 00:01:24,213 Speaker 3: that they make. They all teck those boxes of palate weight, 22 00:01:24,333 --> 00:01:29,133 Speaker 3: freshness and flavor. This particular expression from twenty five has 23 00:01:29,173 --> 00:01:31,813 Speaker 3: a little bit of delicacy about it. It still has 24 00:01:31,853 --> 00:01:37,573 Speaker 3: that bright, taught, fresh, salivating mouthfeel which Penatgree should have, 25 00:01:38,613 --> 00:01:43,893 Speaker 3: and those flavors of red and green apple, white peach, 26 00:01:44,213 --> 00:01:48,373 Speaker 3: pear and even honeysuckle. Dump all of this flavor in 27 00:01:48,413 --> 00:01:52,333 Speaker 3: the mid palate and that's all surrounded by this freshness 28 00:01:52,373 --> 00:01:58,453 Speaker 3: of acidity that with vineyards from the ar Witree you 29 00:01:58,493 --> 00:02:03,253 Speaker 3: get this nice saline effect, and that's in part from 30 00:02:03,373 --> 00:02:06,173 Speaker 3: proximity to the ocean, but it's also part of the 31 00:02:06,413 --> 00:02:10,173 Speaker 3: acid line, that natural flavor, that acid acidity can bring 32 00:02:10,573 --> 00:02:15,253 Speaker 3: to wines from this particular place. Great mouth feel from 33 00:02:15,333 --> 00:02:17,733 Speaker 3: a really really good vintage. So it's a it's a 34 00:02:17,733 --> 00:02:19,573 Speaker 3: beautiful wine to try at a fabulous price. 35 00:02:19,653 --> 00:02:21,693 Speaker 2: Yeah right, So tell us a bit more about the 36 00:02:21,733 --> 00:02:23,253 Speaker 2: twenty twenty five vintage in. 37 00:02:23,133 --> 00:02:28,413 Speaker 3: Marlborough overall, if I had to say two words, rather 38 00:02:28,653 --> 00:02:34,613 Speaker 3: excellent overall, a warm spring, almost near perfect flowering conditions, 39 00:02:34,653 --> 00:02:36,253 Speaker 3: not too windy at all, and that is a you know, 40 00:02:36,333 --> 00:02:39,333 Speaker 3: it's a fairly windy place down there, but near perfect 41 00:02:39,333 --> 00:02:44,253 Speaker 3: flowering conditions which gave good yields, so plenty of fruit harvested. 42 00:02:45,053 --> 00:02:48,773 Speaker 3: There's this term and wine making or grape growing called 43 00:02:48,893 --> 00:02:52,493 Speaker 3: the diurnal shift. In this particular part of New Zealand 44 00:02:52,973 --> 00:02:57,333 Speaker 3: has it in spades. If you like very very warm days, 45 00:02:57,493 --> 00:03:01,773 Speaker 3: very cool night, so it allows the wine, the vineyard, 46 00:03:01,813 --> 00:03:04,813 Speaker 3: the grapes to or in the vines to breathe in 47 00:03:04,853 --> 00:03:08,173 Speaker 3: and out with the flow of a day, if that 48 00:03:08,213 --> 00:03:10,173 Speaker 3: makes sense sense. The planet breeds in it out, so 49 00:03:10,293 --> 00:03:12,533 Speaker 3: does these vines in it, and it works particularly well 50 00:03:12,573 --> 00:03:13,493 Speaker 3: in this area. 51 00:03:13,573 --> 00:03:16,373 Speaker 2: Oh nice. So what would you match the tahoo peanut 52 00:03:16,373 --> 00:03:16,773 Speaker 2: agree with? 53 00:03:18,693 --> 00:03:20,493 Speaker 3: I'm a big fan of sweet corn on the cob 54 00:03:20,533 --> 00:03:22,573 Speaker 3: and I can't help but suggest sweet corn on the 55 00:03:22,613 --> 00:03:26,413 Speaker 3: cob with lots and lots of butter. I was brought 56 00:03:26,453 --> 00:03:28,093 Speaker 3: up putting butter on sweet corn on the cob, and 57 00:03:28,133 --> 00:03:31,733 Speaker 3: I can't help but do that. Lots of butter, lots 58 00:03:31,733 --> 00:03:36,053 Speaker 3: of salt and top peanutgree works really well. If you 59 00:03:36,293 --> 00:03:40,813 Speaker 3: like sour cream, put lemon juice and sour cream in 60 00:03:40,893 --> 00:03:43,053 Speaker 3: a little sprinkle of nutmeg, so you can dip the 61 00:03:43,333 --> 00:03:48,613 Speaker 3: salted buttered corn in that and peanutgree works particularly well. 62 00:03:48,973 --> 00:03:51,733 Speaker 3: If you're not a fan of corn on the cob 63 00:03:51,853 --> 00:03:54,653 Speaker 3: but you like sweet corn anyway, then make some fritters 64 00:03:54,773 --> 00:03:57,013 Speaker 3: top of with sour cream and smoke salmon. It's just 65 00:03:57,373 --> 00:03:58,693 Speaker 3: delightful in a perfect match. 66 00:03:59,933 --> 00:04:03,733 Speaker 2: Damn, Cameron, you got my stomach rumbling this morning. Sounds amazing. 67 00:04:03,813 --> 00:04:06,733 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm a bit angry too now yeah, yeah, thank you. 68 00:04:06,813 --> 00:04:08,893 Speaker 2: So much, very good.
