Taltarni’s ‘Dynamic’ range is all about showing the style, taste and artistic expression of the winemakers. This fruit is from a single vineyard in the Pyrenees where warm days and cool nights show Aussie Shiraz in a different, more elegant light; assisted by a Northern Rhône-influenced co-fermentation with 11% Viognier. A glorious magenta colour is accompanied by aromas of rose petals and summer blossoms. Cherries and blackberries are joined by a hint of ripe apricots and subtle vanilla spice. It’s silky and mouthfilling, medium bodied with perfectly ripe juicy fruit – no jamminess in sight. A hint of Vietnamese mint on the finish inspires pairing it with a fragrant rare beef pho.
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.
