Western Australia’s Great Southern region seems to be able to capture the delicate, floral notes of Riesling in a captivating way. This beauty has lingering apple blossom aromas. There’s yuzu and kiwi fruit with savoury notes of fennel seeds, and cardamom. Beautiful concentration and drive captivate the palate, with perfectly integrated crystalline acidity. Crisp, pure citrus, and more of that earthy cardamom maintains the spicy complexity. It’s a refreshingly dry style, but with a hint of fruity plushness on the mid-palate and impressive length. Buy some to drink now and enjoy in the future.
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.
