A few weeks ago, a year after I first encountered the Landsdowne Claret 1903, we crossed paths again. Ed Beetham generously delved into his family's historic wine cache for a group of mainly overseas wine media. Like the bottle opened a year ago, this one did not disappoint. These pre-Great War Kiwi reds are holding on stubbornly, giving us all a faded but fascinating taste of the work of the Wairarapa's first winemakers, William Beetham and his French wife Hermance.
