Already showing some fantastic complexity as a young wine, there’s aromas of cranberry, rhubarb and the earthy perfume of fresh beetroot. 30% whole bunch contributes the spicy verdancy of a veggie patch, as it bursts into life in spring. Redcurrants and strawberries are intense and juicy on the palate. There’s a hint of blueberry, and a dusting of nutmeg from the elegant oak (25% new). The soft tannins unfurl over the tongue against a gentle slatey minerality. Bright and youthful, there’s a lot to love now and a lot yet to discover.
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.
