This is big, bold Barossa Valley Shiraz, showcasing everything the region is famed for, with fruit from long-standing grower families. It’s black-forest cake in a glass, with dark chocolate, cherries and coconut. Yet it’s also savoury with 4 years age adding a slightly meaty, earthy note and a hint of freshly roasted coffee. Rich and mouth-filling with rounded tannins, the natural pairing is a prime T-bone steak cooked over a wood-fired grilled and served with chimichurri.
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.
