“Eight Songs for a Mad King” was one of Peter Lehmann’s favourite musical works – this wine, with Shiraz sourced from some of the best growers in the Barossa, celebrates the harmony. The aromas are indulgent and enveloping with baskets of plums and cherries, hot chocolate pudding and clove-studded orange peel. Rich and dense on the palate with ripe, supple tannins. The rich black fruit and dark, spicy chocolate flavours are lifted with a hint of eucalyptus. Lovely balance and length promises a long future ahead.
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.
