The choice to wrap this Tempranillo in a bottle-shape usually associated with Riesling, is revealed as the intense aromatics erupt from the glass. There’s blueberries and black cherries – so ripe they burst in your mouth. Paired with the sweet perfume of just-picked violets pressed into the chubby hands of a toddler. A dinner-party star, it’s medium bodied with fine velvety tannins. Seductive cherry cola flavours abound with a hint of fennel seed and chai spices adding interest. Pair with a grazing table or take a bottle to your next pot-luck dinner; it promises to delight.
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.
