Mt Baudin Chardonnay is part of the Hazards range, named for mountain range on the east coast of Tasmania. This fruit comes from the well-regarded Kayena vineyard. The wine has aromas of grapefruit, fig leaf and rock salt minerality. Still very youthful and tightly coiled, barrel fermentation with 37% new oak presents as subtle vanilla blossom and a hint of baking spices. Pure elegance that then surprises you with power on the palate. There are layers of flavour; basketfuls of ripe citrus tangoing with tangy stonefruit. Creamy cashew nut ascends into a crunchy green Thai mango tang. Fascinating complexity with beautifully precise, well-integrated acidity that leaves your mouth watering for another sip.
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.
