Rosé is often a bit of an afterthought – fruit from a vineyard that doesn’t get ripe enough, or juice drawn off to concentrate a red wine. But Katherine Brown, 4th generation winemaker (and first female winemaker in the family), is passionate about great rosé, and it shows.
The colour is that of perfect pale peach skin. It tastes like an enticing summer fruit salad – watermelon and crisp honeydew, white peach and strawberries.
Refreshingly dry with a silky texture and a citrus-pith acidity while elegant and fun at the same time. Drink it in the garden with goats cheese and sundried figs.
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.
