What a vibrant little beauty this is! Aromas of freshly squeezed lemon juice, peach blossom, and golden kiwi fruit – delicate and zesty. It’s light and lively, like catching a hint of something delicious on the breeze. In the mouth it continues that liveliness with flavours of homemade lime cordial, and a crunchy green apple acidity. It’s restrained and refreshing in the same surprising way a twist of lime adds a burst of freshness to mineral water. This wine is simply begging to be served with a pile of oysters or fresh prawns, and at only 11% you might as well enjoy in the sun over a long lunch.
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.
