A lighter, prettier style of Nebbiolo; the fruit is selected from a vineyard that allows for earlier drinking. Still distinctly Nebbiolo though, with aromas of cherries, rose petals, and a hint of redcurrant, while tar and truffles linger in the background. It tastes bright and lively, with flavours of cranberry juice and pomegranate jewels. The tannins are fine and chalky with the texture of red delicious apples. Careful tannin management keeps them at the right level for this early-drinking style. A hint of leather on the finish and refreshing, balanced acidity keeps you reaching for another sip.
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.
