Pump Shed must be the most unromantic name for a wine. It is so called
after the first pump shed for the irrigation of Angove's giant 1,200 acre Nanya Vineyard planted in 1968.
This juicy blend is a bargain at the price. It is certainly worth £5.99, if not a little
more. It has a distinctive green-gold colour and offers tempting citrus and apple aromas, followed by peach and predominately melon flavours on a well-balanced palate.
The winery was originally
operated by Dr. William Thomas Angove, who actually prescribed wine and brandy to his patients in the ironically named 'Tea Tree Gully' near Adelaide. Founded by a family of Cornish origin in 1886, the
wine business remains in family hands.
Food guide: As an aperitif, with shrimps and prawns, smoked fish, cold meats and salads.
