Aromas of plump black cherries, blackberries and black currants mingle with Biscoff spices and dark chocolate. A hint of eucalyptus and iron rich red soil places us firmly in Australia, with fruit sourced from vineyards across Bendigo, the Yarra Valley and the Big Valley. There’s luscious flavour intensity without losing elegance; and a beautifully balanced 13.5% alcohol. The tannins are fine and chalky. At just on 4 years old, it is still looking remarkably youthful and will most certainly reward aging. Drink with slow-roasted lamb shoulder, minted peas and parsnip puree.
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.
