A mysterious name for an incredibly vibrant Prosecco – no mystery here. On the nose it’s tangy apple sherbet and creamy lemon curd – pure and zesty fruit. The palate has a lovely creamy mousse, really silky, with fine bubbles. It’s unusually complex; Prosecco is often charmingly fruity but not much more – maybe this is the mystery? Although there are no daggers here. There’s crunchy green pears, lime zest, elderflowers, white strawberries and plump lychees. Fruity but not sweet with a refreshing acidity that has you reaching for another glass.
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.
