With five years of age on release, this wine is still very youthful; a lifted river-pebble-minerality, delicate lime curd and toasted sourdough. In the mouth it is silky with intensely concentrated flavours and pure crisp acidity. There’s an intriguing, rich, almost oily character with a crunchy, stony minerality that pulls all the elements together. Drink with crispy roast pork, for a beautiful interplay of flavours and textures.
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.
