Wild chamomile and lemon blossoms lead into aromas of intensely concentrated yellow nectarines, and a mound of lemon rinds – the muddled flesh, pith and zest of a homemade lemonade stand. There’s a minerality that conjures images of fluffy whipped egg white and a delicate vanilla oak.
On the palate it’s power and sophistication. Profoundly concentrated, bringing back all that yellow stonefruit and citrus with the zinging acidity that Tasmania’s cool climate does so well. There’s a hint of almond nougat, nutmeg dusted custard tart; a suggestion of the complexity it will develop with age; if you can wait that long.
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.
