Brown Brothers mixed case

It might be called Brown Brothers, but the men don’t have it all their way at this successful Australian winery – here we talk to Brown sister Katherine about family, food and fabulous wines

Sister act

Next generation: the Brown family team

Brown Brothers wine estate is based in Australia’s Kin Valley re ion where the cool climate allows for a lon ripenin period for the rapes

It all started in a barn, apparently. In 1889, the great Gold Rush brought George Harry Brown to Australia from Scotland. He might not have

made his fortune with gold but he did start making wine in a barn in Milawa, a small town in Victoria, southeast Australia. That very barn still stands in the vineyards today, and Brown Brothers has grown to become one of Australia’s most famous winemaking families.

Nowadays, though, it is as much about the sisters as the brothers. Katherine Brown, George’s great-granddaughter and the daughter of Ross and Judy Brown, is the latest

family member to join the firm. Before doing so, she worked in vineyards in France and, prior to that, the coffee industry. “We’re encouraged to have a life outside of the family business before we join,” she explains.

Now firmly part of the Brown Brothers wine story, Katherine is infectiously enthusiastic about what the future holds for the next generation of wine drinkers. “We’re always looking for something new to play with, always experimenting with different grape varieties and possible blends.” So much so, there is a ‘kindergarten’ within the winery, where the team of winemakers and apprentices are encouraged to create and develop new ideas.

One of their successful experiments was the blending of the Italian red Dolcetto grape with Syrah. The fermentation was stopped halfway, creating a wine with natural fruit sweetness from the sugar in the grapes and a slight fizz. On paper, it doesn’t sound like it would work, but in the glass – and more importantly in the mouth – the wine is a sensation. Made with spicy or Asian food in mind, this light red is also

a brilliant partner for barbecued foods. Ross, Katherine’s father, was an early pioneer of rethinking the rules when it came to matching food and wine. The winery was one of the first in the country to have a restaurant on site, the Epicurian Centre, where guests chose their food and the Brown Brothers team picked an individual wine to go with each dish.

So how many vineyards do Brown Brothers have? “Enough, as Dad puts it,” is Katherine’s answer. Most are based in the cool-climate King Valley region, where the additional height and seasonal European-like climate allows for a longer ripening period for the grapes. Varieties such as Pinot Grigio and Dolcetto thrive in this valley along with Tarrango, another grape variety pioneered by Brown Brothers, which produces a lighter-style red wine often likened to Beaujolais. Grapes with exotic names such as Zibibbo and Cienna are also producing wines with lower-than-average alcohols, but in taste they are anything but average. Generations of Browns have passed their knowledge down through the family and now it’s Katherine’s turn to put all this know-how to great use.

Brown Brothers Sparkling mixed case

Dolcetto means ‘little sweet one’, a perfect description for this wine. Not an obvious combination of grapes but one that works brilliantly in the glass giving a bright, juicy red stuffed with ripe morello cherry aromas, black-fruit flavours and a hint of sweetness. Especially good when matched with lightly spiced dishes or barbecued meats. For best results, serve slightly chilled. brown brothers Dolcetto & Syrah 2010, Australia, 10%

This fantastic Pinot Grigio is crammed with pear and peach flavours, with a crispness to it that demands food. The majestic-sounding King Valley lies in the southeastern state of Victoria. Here the high altitude and cool climate ensure longer ripening times for grapes, allowing more interesting fruit characters to develop. A brilliant match for simply-done fish, dressed-up salads and light risottos. brown brothers pinot Grigio 2011, Australia, 12.5%

Rioja is the place normally associated with the Tempranillo grape but here it has packed its bags and settled down nicely in the cool-climate King Valley region. It has the same distinctive dark cherry characteristic as its Spanish counterpart, together with plum and a sprinkling of spice due to spending over a year in American and French oak barrels. Cries out for tapas-style food. brown brothers tempranillo 2008, Australia, 14.5%

This is an incredible mouthful: a big sparkling red with gorgeous summer pudding flavours that really take you by surprise. Cienna is a relatively new grape pioneered by the Brown Brothers team – a cross between the little-known Spanish Sumoll and the ubiquitous Cabernet Sauvignon. The result is best served well chilled either as an apéritif or, for the hedonists among you, with chocolate-dipped strawberries. brown brothers cienna rosso NV, Australia, 7.5%

This brilliant sparkling Moscato wine is light, bright and packed with grapes (sounds too obvious, but smell it, it really is just like freshly crushed grapes)! This style of sparkling wine is one of the most popular wine trends down under, and is fast catching on here too. Serve chilled, with a huge bowl of strawberries or sorbets for best results. brown brothers Sparkling Moscato 2011, Australia, 6%

And now for something completely different! If you like sparkling Italian Moscato but fancy something pink, there’s a good chance that you’ll love this. Made from the Muscat of Alexandria grape (Zibibbo is the Italian name for it) this is just like fruit salad in a glass, with strawberry and melon flavours all jostling for position. A real high-summer drink – serve well chilled with fruit-based puddings, pavlova especially. brown brothers Zibibbo rosa NV, Australia, 8%

Every bubble of this ripe, vibrant Cava bursts with refreshing flavours of lemon, melon and apple. Made from a classic blend of Macabeo, Parellada and Xarello grapes, this is a beautiful example of what makes good vintage Cava so fantastic. Freixenet Extra Vintage Brut Cava 2009, Spain, 12%

This fresh white is made from grapes grown in the foothills of the Andes, where they ripen in perfect conditions that help to increase the intensity of flavour. Pale in colour, it is bursting with ripe floral scents and a zingy citrus taste. Great with grilled prawns. Long Country Sauvignon Blanc 2011, Chile, 12.5%

A top-quality Sauvignon Blanc from the Touraine region of the Loire Valley, this is a wonderfully fresh and well-balanced wine. The suggestions of citrus and fresh herbs, with a tantalising hint of minerality, make it a natural partner for seafood and fish. Maison des Princes Sauvignon Blanc 2010, France, 11.5%

The Ventoux area in the southeast of the Rhône wine region is gaining a reputation for producing brilliant-value wines that punch well above their weight. This Grenache/Syrah blend does just that, with ripe, juicy black fruits. Brilliant with beef. La Tour de Marrenon Côtes du Ventoux Réserve 2010, France, 13.5%

A delightfully mature Gran Reserva that’s rated 91/100 in the acclaimed Parker’s Wine Buyer’s Guide. Aged for 10 years in barrel and bottle, its mellow berry, violet and spice flavours make it a great match for grilled meats and full-flavoured cheeses. Gran Fabrica Cariñena Gran Reserva 2001, Spain, 13%

Made just south of Lodi in California’s Central Valley, this is a generously black-fruit loaded red. Smooth, rich, and full bodied, it really loves being paired with lamb, especially when garlic-flecked, covered in rosemary and slow roasted! Jacktone Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 2009, USA, 14%

The Utiel Requena is a Spanish DO (area) in Valencia where the Bobal grape is king. Here it has been blended with the Tempranillo grape, producing a wine with dark-cherry flavours. 2004 was a brilliant vintage, and the wine was aged in oak barrels for 18 months before being left to age for the same period in the bottle, developing wonderfully mellow, smooth flavours. Valtier Reserva 2004, Spain, 13%

This luxuriously silky-smooth red made using the Tempranillo grape matches enticing aromas of cherries and spice with rich, opulent blackberry flavours and a hint of chocolate. A year’s barrel ageing, followed by several years spent in bottle, creates the subtle cedar and vanilla notes of a classic Rioja Reserva. Fabulous with cheese. Glorioso Rioja Reserva 2006, Spain, 13%

The grapes for this wine were grown in the Terra Alta region in Spain, where the super-ripened fruit produces wines laden with dark berry flavours. This is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Tempranillo grapes, aged in oak to give the wine greater complexity and depth. Smooth and luxurious, this is happiest when paired with roast lamb. Marqués de Amba Reserva 2007, Spain, 13%
