Let it breathe is my advice. When I first tasted this I thought it was
a fairly ordinary Oz red but when it was left half full for 2 nights it transformed into a fruit-laden mouthful abundant with plums and berries and velvety tannins. Frankly it was twice as good as when
first tasted and worth every penny.
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.
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: With gammon, pizza, full flavoured pasta dishes or grilled lamb cutlets flavoured with
rosemary.
