From the revered Indigo vineyard of Beechworth comes this beautifully balanced cool climate Chardonnay. There’s fabulous complexity, especially for such a young wine, with aromas of grapefruit zest, white nectarine, green mango and the earthy/citrus funk of cardamon pods. French oak adds a silky vanilla custard note dusted with nutmeg. This wine effortlessly combines restrained elegance with compelling concentration and a finish that goes on and on (and on). Glorious now and will reward cellaring.
Nicole loves wine. So much so that she gave up a successful career in Pharmacy, perfected her spitting technique, and moved from sunny Queensland to the wine-drenched laneways of Melbourne. Stints in hospitality, wineries, retail, sales and marketing filled the next few years while Nicole built her knowledge and searched for the right path. She completed the Wine and Spirits Education Trust (WSET) Diploma in 2016 and became a certified WSET Educator the following year. She now juggles a number of roles including teaching people about wine, curating wines lists for restaurants and bars, judging in Australian wine shows and, of course, writing. In 2016 she won the Negociants Working With Wine writing award and has since contributed to Gourmet Traveller WINE, Halliday Wine Companion Magazine and Nourish Magazine.
