COVER

BRINGING IN THE HARVEST: Ultra modern harvesters and high tech crushers may have taken over traditional methods in most wineries and vineyards, but the importance of history has not been lost on one prominent Barossa family. With youthful exuberance, sixth generation Basedow’s, Henry, William and Emma are set to celebrate as another vintage closes and the Barossa Vintage Festival draws near. The trio may only be starting their journey with the family winery, Basedow’s of the Barossa, but they hold the future of a label and region that will continue for generations to come. Read their Barossa connection on page 4.

- Three main points Marcus Schulz has worked with all his life.

Since leaving school Marcus worked with the earth putting in contours, dams and through the years improving earth through organic & biodynamic practices. After getting the earth right, decades of planting followed, working with improved clones and closer plantings. Which then leads to the last four years where he has seen and worked with the fruits of labour made into wine.

Following and working to create this journey has led to what Schulz Wines stands for today ‘Earth, Vine to Wine’.

Autumn Food AND Wine 1

Mel inspires Easter creativity For Nuriootpa’s Mel Neldner, Easter is a time to get creative in the kitchen and bring loved ones together to enjoy good food and company.

The busy hairdresser and beautician says that cooking is a rewarding and enjoyable hobby and Easter presents her with an opportunity to bring family and friends to the table, creating a great social atmosphere.

“For me, Easter has always meant spending time with loved ones,” she said.

“These days more than ever it’s important to us, as we are all very busy with our own lives.

“I love bringing people together with food and introducing them to different flavours, or combining different things they may not have tried before.”

This year, Mel has focused her artistic efforts on creating some sweet Easter

treats to share with loved ones, including Chocolate Confetti Easter Cups, Butter Cupcakes and Chocolate Hot Cross Cookies.

She says the articulate side of preparing Easter treats stems from her career.

“I find creating these treats really enjoyable and challenging,” she said.

“It’s also a personalised gift you can share with loved ones.

“Being creative in the kitchen gives definition to Easter and may produce great childhood memories for some.

“Spending time in the kitchen with friends and family having fun and just creating can be really satisfying.”

Mel says that first and foremost she draws her inspiration for cooking from mum, Rosalie.

“My mum has always been my inspiration

because she has fed me,” said Mel. “I have worked with Tracy Collins in the hair and beauty industry at The Greenroom and followed her journey closely on MasterChef last year.

“I also draw my inspiration from local and national icon, Maggie Beer, who I have again worked with and she has really furthered my desire to cook.”

Mel says her family tradition of making chocolate eggs and supporting local bakeries by purchasing fresh hot cross buns will continue for many years to come, as well as her desire to create great food to stop and enjoy with loved ones.

“I believe food is one of the most enjoyable things in life,” she said.

“Good food with great company who appreciate the taste and effort combine to make a wholesome experience.”

The “Basedow’s” brand has returned to where it belongs - back in the Barossa and back in the hands of its original namesake’s family.

It was only last year that fifth generation Basedow brothers of B3 Wines fame, Peter, Michael and Richard, were able to re-acquire the family brand name which was sold to outside interests back in 1987 after their father, John Oscar, passed away at age 49.

As the rightful custodians of their name, the trio have re-launched “Basedow’s” as it was known back in the Barossa.

Managing Director, Richard Basedow said the acquisition marks the beginning of a significant new chapter in the family’s long wine making history.

“It’s a privilege to be able to continue such a family tradition and be able to hand on the reins to the next generation for safe keeping –when the time is right,” said Richard from behind the red gum bar that features in their brand

The Laughing Jack brothers - Damon, Shawn and Nathan Kalleske.

Genuine hand crafted wine, made from estate grown grapes sourced from the western Barossa completes Laughing Jack Wines.

Under the direction of Shawn Kalleske as winemaker, who also tends to his vineyard; the Marananga based winery has evolved since it was established in 1999.

Passionate about grape growing and wine, Shawn set out to develop Laughing Jack Wines; a family venture where Shawn is supported by wife, Briony; his parents Ian and Carol and brothers, Nathan and Damon.

The venture goes hand in hand as a family affair – Ian and Carol are supported by Nathan and Damon to manage their vineyards at Greenock, while Shawn provides the winery for

their grapes to be sold to.

“I wanted to make grape growing and winemaking my way of life and I have certainly achieved this,” said Shawn.

“I have been pretty much working seven days a week for the last 17 years. It looks like another 17 years until, hopefully, the next generation will lend a hand.”

Shawn called his label, Laughing Jack after being inspired by the kookaburras who live in blue and red gum trees that surround the vineyards and family farm.

He has adopted sustainable viticulture practices throughout his properties in conjunction with revegetation programmes in an effort to bring back wildlife and importantly to continue to provide a place for the kookaburra to live.

When it comes to making their own wine, with estate grown fruit, Shawn said they

feel very fortunate and added producing their own grapes, for their own winery is very rewarding.

“The grapes are estate grown and the wine is made entirely by myself,” said Shawn.

“Having control from the vineyard to the bottle ensures my customers are buying genuine hand crafted wine.”

With small beginnings making wine at the Greenock family homestead, Laughing Jack Wines soon grew and a new winery was built on Stonewell Road where they are now part of the Seppeltsfield Road precinct, which Shawn believes is one of the best wine destinations in the Barossa.

Their focus remains simple – estate grown grapes for multi vineyard and single vineyard wines from Greenock,

Moppa and soon Marananga.

“There are plans for a cellar door and a further eight acres of vineyard in the future at the winery site in Marananga,” said Shawn.

And with their vintage starting earlier than normal, Shawn is already excited about starting Laughing Jack’s 17th vintage.

“The early signs are for an excellent vintage,” said Shawn.

“Greenock Semillon is looking great with intense flavours and good acidity. The Moppa Grenache, Cabernet, Mataro and the dry grown Tempranillo all could make special single vineyard wines this year.

“Shiraz consistently makes great wines from our Greenock and Moppa vineyards but it is too early to judge whether it will be exceptional… signs are there.”

Matthew Pfeiffer of Whistler Wines says that allowing wine to breathe will help the flavours to be released so the wine can be enjoyed at its best.

Getting the best out of your wine When it comes to getting the best from wine, Matthew Pfeiffer of Whistler Wines says that it’s all about choosing a wine that you like.

“Don’t choose a wine that someone else likes or one you have been told is good, choose one that you like,” he said.

Matthew says that it’s important to allow wine to breathe before serving. “Heavier wines like cabernet’s need to breathe for about one hour prior to serving, while lighter wines will be good after 20 minutes,” he said.

“This will soften the wine allowing the flavours of the wine to be released, and this way the wine can be enjoyed at its best.”

By allowing wine to breathe it is exposing the wine to air for a period of time before drinking. This is done to soften the wine and allow the aromas and flavour to lift from the wine once it is out of the bottle. More tannic wine varieties such as cabernet sauvignon will also benefit from aerating as it softens the tannins a little faster.

Allowing the wine to breathe can be achieved by the use of a decanter or through the use of an aerator, which allows air to mix with the wine while pouring.

Alternatively, swirling a glass of wine will enable the surface of the wine to come in contact with the air to have a similar affect.

“The wines that need to breathe are more often the bigger style red wines and older wines that have been cellared for a period of time,” said Matthew.

“Cabernet Sauvignon has the big tannins that aerating will soften and help lift the aromas and flavours of the wine.

“With aged wines it helps to develop the wine that has been shut off from the world for a long time.

“Aerating aged wines will help the wine change over the period of your tasting and therefore you can taste the subtle changes the wine is going through from sip to sip.

“Unfortunately aerating or decanting will also shorten the life of your aged wine and can take the wine on a rapid trip to greatness before ending quickly.”

Matthew says sparkling wines should be served at 6-8 degrees, while white wines should be served at 10-12

degrees and red wines at 15-18 degrees. “I’m sure everyone has a different idea of what wine works well with what food, but typically red wine is best served with red meat, and white wine with white meat,” he said.

“The harder foods to match wine with are Asian and Indian cuisine. In these cases it’s about the sauces and the spices.

Trying to find something that will compliment the food can be a challenge. “Some recommendations are Yum Cha with Sauvignon Blanc, Peking duck with Pinot Noir, Pad Thai with Rieslings or Semillon and Indian spicy curries with Rose.”

Matthew believes that the wine you are drinking has more to do with the food you are eating than the time of year.

“If you drink wine on its own then yes the weather plays a part, but so do the numerous styles that individuals enjoy,” he said.

“For example, some people prefer whites to reds and will drink them at any time of the year and it’s not unusual to see bottles of full bodied 15% alcohol wines consumed in the middle of summer.”

Typically the weather does play a part, and warmer weather will entice wine drinkers to drink white wines, while colder weather will bring on a greater consumption of red wines.

“I think we are spoilt with a choice of good value wines in Australia,” said Matthew.

“If you know where to look there are bargains everywhere.

Price can have just as much to do with the brand and it’s rarity than it does the quality, as wine is so much more than the liquid in a bottle.”

Matthew says that price is normally an indication of the quality of the wine.

“Over a period of time wines develop a following because of their origin, marketing, performance in wine shows and scarcity and producers generally capitalise on these successes by increasing prices,” he said.

“Most Australian wines between $20 and $40 will be of a very high standard so at this price point consumers should be happy with their purchase.”

wine storage tips

• Store wine with cork closures on their sides. Check them every few months to see there are no leaks. If the cork is leaking it would be a good time to consume the wine before the damage is too far gone. Stelvins and other closures can also be laid down on their sides although not essential • Choose a place to store your wine that is relatively cool, and has the lowest seasonal and daily temperature variation, a cellar or wine fridge if you have them.

• Keep wines away from light as this can cause deterioration of wine, even in dark coloured bottles.

• It is best to have at least 3-6 bottles of each type of wine you are cellaring, that way you can monitor the progress of the wine by opening one every few years to check on the aging.

• Choose wines to age carefully. Ask the winemaker, or cellar door person for the cellaring potential of the wines, more often than not wines that have aging potential will have a recommended cellaring time on the back label.

Popular destination embraces region’s food, wine The operators behind the region’s newest food destination, FINO Seppeltsfield, admit they hit the ground running when they opened in November last year, but David Swain and Sharon Romeo have relished in the opportunity.

As the restaurant opened, FINO Seppeltsfield soon became a popular destination and with the dining area at capacity almost everyday as the Christmas New Year period progressed,

Sharon is proud to say they believe they have done a great job of delivering a taste of the FINO experience so early in their Barossa adventure.

“We are continually improving our offering and strive for excellence as we become more familiar with the desires of our guests, be them visiting tourists and the local Barossa community,” said Sharon.

FINO Seppeltsfield is based on the highly decorated FINO Willunga, which David and Sharon have operated for the past nine years.

FINO Seppeltsfield consists of an a-la-carte restaurant and casual food bar with a philosophy based on fresh, seasonal produce and its provenance and already David, as co-owner and executive chef, and Sharon, as managing partner enjoy working with quality local produce of the region.

“We source our produce from people who are dedicated to their craft,” said David.

“The Barossa is an incredibly beautiful place and so are its people.

It has been an honour and pleasure meeting local Barossa producers, many

of whom have become regulars already.

“Working with Barossa wines and particularly those with a long lineage is very exciting for me.

“We are discovering new wines regularly and look forward to having more on our wine list over time.”

Supportive of emerging varieties that go hand in hand with their food and always looking for something interesting and even a little quirky, David and Sharon aim to offer guests a memorable experience.

And as they look back on what has been achieved, David and Sharon say it has been an incredible journey and they look forward to further making their mark in the Barossa.

“Working with Warren Randall to see the vision of the revitalised Seppeltsfield Winery has been an epic journey of no small proportions,” said David.

“It feels like the real work has just begun as we work harder than ever to refine and consistently deliver the highest possible experience to our customers,” added Sharon.

FINO Seppeltsfield is open every day for lunch and Friday and Saturday nights for dinner.

David Swain and Sharon Romeo aim to offer guests a memorable experience at FINO Seppeltsfield.

Grains and seeds are part of the rural agricultural life,” she said.

“I source my products from local businesses as much as I can. “My cereals from 4 Leaf Farm in Tarlee and my dried fruits and almonds are from the Adelaide Hills or Riverland. “Other seeds and spices I have to import as they are not grown in Australia.” Veronica says she has great plans for her business for the next year, and some of her products are currently being trialed with a number of outlets, including a couple of dieticians.

“I’ve been cooking for as long as I can remember, my mum bought me the whole series of the Cordon Bleu cooking instruction, which was big in the late 60’s,” she said. “I was only young, but I loved them and I really started to cook well when I was in my early twenties.” Veronica says she loves to cook with whole spices and seeds.

“They are packed with flavour, colour and energy, and freshly ground spices have a fantastic aroma that evokes memories of home cooking, or much further afield, like Turkey and the Middle East (the two places I love to visit),” she said. “My favourite things to cook are Middle Eastern, Indian and Asian foods. “I can combine all the colour and flavour of Asia and beyond in these cooking styles.

“Making my own spice mixes is an essential part of the dish, creating authentic flavours.” Veronica has recently become a part of the Tin Lids cooking group for children at the farmer’s market and this has assisted her to impart her health wisdom to children and their families. “I have a strong belief in health, particularly in illness prevention,” she said. “Australia is in the grip of an obesity crisis, which is leading to a huge burden on our health system. “Good eating habits begin at home, where children learn about food and I encourage parents to be good role models for their children, and want the children to grow into healthy adults too. “These lessons encourage children to make good choices and see that eating well has a lifetime effect on your health and wellbeing.

“The kids seemed to have had a good time and their parents are happy! We hope to repeat the lessons in the school holidays.”

A brief interlude with MasterChef as a contestant some years ago helped a Charleston resident reach the final fifty, but as fate would have it, Veronica Forsayeth was not destined for fame and fortune. It’s just as well, as the owner of company, FUEL Grains & Seeds has recently embraced trading at the Mount Pleasant Farmers Market and today shares her health knowledge with the community.

“My background is in health, as I have been a registered nurse since I was 21,” she said. “I have been working in community health promotion for over 20 years, and was recently engaged by the City of Tea Tree Gully to manage the national Healthy Communities Programme. “This valuable programme was about the importance of good nutrition and fitness to prevent chronic diseases like diabetes, and through that programme I saw a lot of misinformation about diets and poor unbalanced diets and I knew that eating well, from all food groups was vitally important.”

Veronica’s business, FUEL Grains & Seeds produces a range of breakfasts, savoury granola and dukkah, mustard, spiced salt, children’s organic cereal, and flavoured polenta. “I work with a dietitian to develop my products so they are the best they can be. “I also use grains and flours such as brown rice flour, millet and polenta as they are very nutritious, (gluten free for those with gluten issues), and have a higher fibre and protein content than some other grains,” she said.

“I try to use organic products where I can, and my products are low in fat, sugar and salt. It’s a perfect fit really; my love of cooking and my belief in healthy eating.”

Veronica works alone from home and says autumn is her favourite time of year for cooking. “It’s the warm autumn colours I love, that’s reflected in the seasonal food available,” she said. “Pumpkin pie is one of my favourite dishes; warm colours, warm spices from cinnamon and nutmeg, mixed with the autumn pumpkins - delicious!”

Veronica is relatively new to the farmer’s market, but says it is a big, bustling place and has been great for setting up her business. “There is a welcoming country ambience at this market, and I think that’s why my products do so well there.

The Wine Enjoy... according to responsible consumption guide!

A GREAT RED FROM A GREAT YEAR “Not every year is great for Cabernet in the Barossa, but 2012 was.

Superbly deep, bright colour; clean, bright berry fruit aromas and flavours in abundance, with a fruit-sweet mid-palate and ample soft tannins. Very Cabernet. A smartly polished wine.”

A taste of Barossa

DER THE LEA llenge ha CHEF's C

Peter Sich may be retired, but cooking will always play a major part in his life.

Nowadays you’ll more likely find him enjoying a home-cooked meal with his wife, Mignon or showing the grandchildren a few tips in the light filled kitchen that is the hub of their modern home in Nuriootpa.

It’s a far cry from what he was doing earlier in his career when he was catering for groups of up to 1,600 diners at a time, although you’ll still see him sizzling sausage with the Rotary Club of the Barossa Valley.

“I’m a cook,” said Peter. “Not a chef.”

He smiles as he remembers how his mother, of Silesian descent, introduced him to cooking.

“My mum’s a good cook and I used to watch over her shoulder. Often, if I was home on my own during an afternoon, I would knock something up using similar ingredients to what she used.

“All our children do that now - they are all very handy in the kitchen. Our eldest son is a chef.”

Austrian by birth, Peter has always believed that quality ingredients are key to a quality dish - a philosophy he has held throughout his nearly 40 years in the food industry.

Peter’s introduction to catering began when he managed a fast food shop called “Chickenland” on Anzac Highway in Adelaide after working in a bank for ten years.

The fast food of that era was different to today though, he admits. Ingredients were “fresh and real.”

After being invited to cater at Seppeltsfield for functions, Peter and Mignon moved to the Barossa in 1973.

“There was work available here...We were in the right place at the right time.”

Peter became Seppeltsfield’s resident caterer and was based there for 35 years until his retirement six years ago.

The Sich family also ran “Gourmet BBQ and Catering Service” and word spread quickly as they began to make a name for themselves around the local wineries and other private and public venues.

“As things progressed, naturally I had to skill myself up in all the things that were looking like happening here,” said Peter.

Always “learning and adapting” to whatever the market demanded, Peter has seen many changes in people’s tastes over his long career.

“We had to recognise the trends in food, to some extent emulating other people’s successes as well. Food trends are a bit like fashion in that people go by the flavour of the month... We had to provide what people were looking for,” he said.

From vegan and gluten free to vegetarian dishes, Peter also developed his own equipment for the mobile catering service that ensured that meals were cooked to perfection on location.

His team helped bring people to the Barossa. Whether it was for a national Rotary or Apex convention in the Tanunda Show Hall, the Barossa Vintage Fair or a wedding on the picturesque grounds of a local winery; Peter helped to bring food and the region’s famous wines together in a time when restaurants were only just beginning to emerge in the Barossa.

“There were so many large convention groups that came to the Barossa in those days and we were a vehicle for that.

“We had to do something that was achievable on site...Pasta was difficult, but we did do risotto for a gourmet weekend - that was something very new for the Barossa back then.”

Protein has always been the hero of the dish for Peter, whether it be lamb or seafood. The quality of the produce had to shine through and his signature dishes have stood the test of time.

“Smoked grilled lamb with a Shiraz sauce, we developed that for one of the Barossa Vintage Festival Dinners. I don’t think anyone else has ever done it as successfully since.”

For The Leader Chef Challenge, Peter veered away from using all four ingredients in his dish, choosing to make the duck a prominent feature as he’s always done in the past.

See his recipe for warm salad of grilled duck with grilled pear, rocket and red wine vinaigrette on page 17.

Chris gets creative in the kitchen With more than 30 years in the food industry, there’s no doubt Chris Wilksch is a fine cook.

Born in the Barossa, the managing director of Angaston’s South Australian Company Store featuring The Company Kitchen takes pride in using and promoting local produce.

“I like really good, wholesome food,” says Chris.

This Barossa born chef is far from pretentious and has never liked the snob factor that is sometimes associated with high end city restaurants.

He describes himself as a “down to earth” chef and it is obvious he aims to please, with dishes that are satisfying and creative.

“I like to incorporate different textures, different flavours and things that aren’t always deemed to be a good combination. You’ve just got to do things differently because there is so much out there nowadays. “ Chris started his career in the Riverland where he gained his qualifications. He was 16 years old when he got his first job as a kitchen hand at the Barmara Hotel, he then moved to the Berri Hotel and was there for 10 years.

“I moved back here to the Barossa and worked at the Vine In as Head Chef for 10 years,” he said.

Refining his skills and loving country life, Chris eventually took up the challenge of owning and managing a restaurant and has been at the Company Kitchen for the past eight years.

Chris admits he doesn’t have a favourite dish that he cooks, it’s more about creative use of local ingredients and having that point of difference that

people keep coming back for.

He has plenty of appetising examples.

“One of the things that we are doing that has proved to be very popular is the Malaysian Prawn Pasta. It’s not necessarily a dish you would associate as a pasta dish. We are using Carmella’s Malaysian spice and Weich’s organic noodles - it’s just a bit out of the square,” he says.

Cooking is just an extension of Chris’ personality now, he instinctively knows when something works.

“We had a wine and food club here on Monday night and we were cooking for a full course meal without any recipes. They tell me what they want, what wines they’ve got and we match the food with the wine.

“After you’ve been in the industry for a long time and been cooking for a long time, you just get a feeling for what works...as you are cooking you can see where it’s going and what you need to do to get the result you want.”

Customer satisfaction is everything for Chris, he wants people to leave having enjoyed their dining experience.

“When people come here, I don’t want them to leave hungry and have to go to a fast food outlet to top up. Food needs to be what they’re here for.

“Everything we do directly reflects on us. We might be doing a wedding with 100 guests - those guests have to be as happy as the bride and groom. At the end of the day, you want the whole lot walking away saying that was great... I’ll recommend this place.”

Company Kitchen Chef and managing director, Chris Wilksch used all four ingredients for The Leader Chef Challenge.
