Continued my Food and Wine Trail after my picnic lunch.t's almost 3 pm..and the shops close like 4.30 pm so I have no choice but to skip some of the places that I intended to go like Houghton (another famous winery) and a farm where they produced goat milk and cheese.
Instead, I went off to two wineries cos they are just right opposite each other..hahaha..lan jiu gui..
8th stop:Ledaswan Organic Winery
It's the smallest winery in the Swan Valley offering tastings and cellar door sales of award winning wines. But the place din really appeal to me so I went off to the one opposite.
9th Stop: John Kosovich Wines
It is the 3rd oldest winery operating in the Swan Valley.
Apparently it's a very famous and prestiged winery, something that I didn't know until I saw the banner. Seems like the winemaker, John Kosovich was awarded the Order of Australia medal for his contribution to the wine industry.
And these are the wine barrels placed there, this is the first time I saw them, there's even the tanks at the side.Usually the wineries are just the wine tasting area and then u get to see some grape growing areas that's all. Oh ya, their wine tasting and sales area is underground...the stairs is really quite shaky..but the place is more unique than the other wineries I saw before. Quite a worthy stop.
And little did I know, the one who sold me the wine was John Kosovich himself. At first I tot it was just the salesman there, u know..hahaha...
And I tried their white wine..and I can tell you it was superb..The best I ever tasted, no doubt. There's no bitter alchohol taste, no sour taste as well.Just pure lovely fruit sweetness.. and of cos, after drinking a sip, I ask the person to give me one bottle. 2006 Autumn Harvest Semillon Verdelho. It's smaller than the usual size wine, only 375 ml. And best of all, the boss himself gave me a $2 discount, cos he pressed the button on the cashier counter wrongly and don know how to undo it.LOL.
I've been here for the second time already but I always need to get back here..for their chocolates cos it's so good. And the whole store is filled with chocolates..haha..
That's wat I ordered..Sardegna Pizza..A woodfired pizza with mixed seafood, whole peeled tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese and fresh diced tomato
I ordered a pasta too..Carbonara...with bacon, egg and cream cheese sauce...it's very thick yet very tasty..
Lovely sunset ... I wonder can I take photos on the plane at all in the 1st place...but the view is too lovely to resist. It's a pity my camera wasn't good enough to capture the later parts of the sunset..where the sky is almost split into several colours like a rainbow..What I captured was just the reflection of my window...
