Organic, biodynamic fruit bathed in sunlight by day and cooled by ocean breezes allows Gemtree to excel with Italian varieties like this charming Fiano. Aromatically it dabbles in lemon/lime freshness with a crunchy potato chip salinity and more exotic notes of fejoia and lemongrass. Lots of juicy fruit continues on the tastebuds with kiwi and white peach. There’s a lot more to this than just juiciness though. The medium body carries a fine citrus pith texture and crisp acidity. Delicious alone, this Fiano shines with food. Pair with a chicken and haloumi splashed with zesty dressing and garden-fresh herbs.
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.
