A deep, almost inky magenta in the glass, this wine erupts with the aromas of blackcurrants and blueberry pie. There’s an Australian signature too – gum tree and the salty, savoury tang of the Australian bush. Fabulous concentration on the palate leads with lashings of rich, mouth filling fruit. A high tannin variety, here they are deftly handled; fine and savoury without being drying. A big, bold, beautiful wine that will also reward cellaring.
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.
