WINE<br />
Tim Adams: A real home-coming.<br />
HOME-COMING<br />
Tim Adams was dubbed the ‘last apprentice’ of Mick Knappstein, the<br />
legendary winemaker at the Clare Valley’s Stanley Leasingham winery and<br />
learnt much of the trade at the master’s feet.<br />
He went on from there to develop his own highly regarded eponymous label.<br />
When he purchased the Stanley Leasingham winery it was regarded by most<br />
in the valley as a real home-coming.<br />
The name (Mr. Mick Wines) said Tim, was a ‘no-brainer’.<br />

MR MICK 2020<br />
Rosé ($17):<br />
MR MICK 2<strong>01</strong>7<br />
Shiraz($17):<br />
Has been made from<br />
a selection of premium<br />
fruit from the Limestone<br />
Coast in the classic<br />
Italian style, with a hint of<br />
fruit sweetness backed<br />
by bright acidity and<br />
plenty of fruit flavour. Tim<br />
describes this easy-going<br />
style as following the<br />
core philosophy of the Mr<br />
Mick range of wines.<br />
This blend of grenache,<br />
sangiovese and<br />
tempranillo has already<br />
been awarded two gold<br />
medals and a trophy.<br />
“Our rosé is not just a<br />
consumer favourite, we<br />
love making the blend,<br />
because after each sip<br />
you just want another<br />
one, it is just that type<br />
of wine,” Tim said. And<br />
so say all of us.<br />
This elegant Clare<br />
Valley red is graceful<br />
yet flavoursome,<br />
gentle enough to<br />
enjoy on its own or<br />
great with a diverse<br />
range of food. Take it<br />
to your favourite Italian<br />
bistro or enjoy with a<br />
top chunk of steak off<br />
the barbie.<br />
