The colour of Ruby red roses and the scent of them too. There’s fresh, perfectly ripe strawberries and cranberries and a gentle lick of vanilla-scented whipped cream. A subtle hint of just-sliced fennel hints at the 10% whole bunch. Quite light on the palate and vibrantly juicy. There’s raspberry cordial without the sweetness and the gently handled oak adds just a dash of nutmeg spice. Whilst very suitable to drink without food, the slightly chalky Red Delicious apple tannins make it a crowd-pleasing table wine too. Deliciously moreish and incredible value. Drink with toasted cheese and onion relish on rye.
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.
