Name the wine.

Not a single guess

OK, another clue:

3. My vineyard is planted on very rocky terrain and my vines have to struggle for survival.

"In some years the grapes from my vineyard do not ripen due to the harsh conditions"

Unfair, this wouldn't be the kind of stuff I'd let pass my lips, I bet it's c-through!

5. The Pro Hart painting, to the best of my knowledge, has not appeared on my label (but I may be wrong ?).

Well done highway. Indeed the wine, and vineyard, is Orlando Steingarten.

"Planted in 1962 on the eastern face of the Barrossa Hills at an altitude of 1,600 feet above sea level. It is a very rocky terrain and the Riesling vines have to struggle for survival. In some years the grapes do not ripen owing to the harsh conditions, but in years when wine is made it is full in flavour, but with a steely elegance and finesse ... "

I wish I could put the image of the painting on here as it's a brilliant piece of work by Pro.

Until next week ..............

Pro Hart also did a commerative bottle of port, can't think of who by at present.

He also hand-painted a dragonfly on each bottle.

Hmm, maybe the Quiz should start a little later in future?
