Have you ever walked around a lush rose garden and buried your nose into blooms of different colours? I suggest you do as it’s remarkable to learn that not all roses smell the same. This wine has the aroma of deep red roses. Pure, bright cherries, raspberry and red currants interspersed with dried lavender and aniseed offering plenty of promise for cellaring. As does the powerful concentration on the palate, supported by fine-grained tannins and integrated acidity. This level of complexity in such a young wine is pure hedonism. There’s driving minerality – the aromas of stony soil after the rain – and subtle oak offering up warm baking spices. So much to love now with the promise of an extra reward for those with patience.
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.
