This Sauvignon Blanc is the latest addition to atmata’s organic, vegan, minimal intervention and very affordable range. Atmata means ‘essence from nature’ and that is certainly reflected here in the purity of fruit. It’s a more restrained example of sauvignon blanc than it’s Kiwi cousins, showing crunchy green apples, lemon and lime wedges and just-ripe passionfruit. A subtle herbaceous character hints at lemongrass, and mint. Ultra refreshing, light-bodied and zesty; the kind of wine you want to sip on a summer afternoon by itself. Or pair it with pan-fried salt and pepper squid as you watch the sunset.
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.
