McLaren Vale Grenache continues to shine and this is a textbook example of everything there is to love about it. Vibrant juicy red cherries leap from the glass alongside more subtle macerated strawberries and rose petals. There’s the fragrant, slightly herbal note of freshly cut fennel and a hint of grated dark chocolate.
Perfectly medium bodied with spicy red licorice, fine tannins, and very well integrated alcohol (14.5%). Vibrant and lively, showing lovely balance with absolute fruit purity.
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.
