Prosecco is adored for its sparkling fun and zesty fruit, often fairly straightforward and simple. But Prosecco can also be layered and interesting, vying for a position amongst some of the more complex sparkling wines, which is the case with this single vineyard beauty.
It pours a glorious pale gold, the bubbles releasing aromas of jasmine blossom, lemon and lime zest and Pink Lady apple sorbet.
It’s drier than many Proseccos but with plenty of vibrancy – white nectarine and lemon curd, slices of fragrant honeydew melon bought by the slice from a farmer’s market. There’s a hint of chalky minerality and a spritz of spice; kafir lime and a fine dusting of white pepper. A creamy mousse and sherbet-like acidity complete the picture. This is serious Prosecco, which really just elevates the fun.
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.
