On the nose my first thought is heritage apples – you know the kind, full of character, how apples are supposed to taste. There’s also some pretty lemon blossom citrus which launches into a whole wave of juicy citrus on the palate. There is a grove full of fruit here; with grapefruit in all the colours, lemon, lime and even a slight zesty orange note. It’s light, fresh and imminently drinkable with enough texture to make it a can-do-no-wrong food match. Drink with white fish grilled on the barbecue and crunchy Vietnamese slaw.

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.
