Gosh I love Museum Release Riesling. There’s no waiting for the lifted florals of youth to deepen into pollen-rich acacia. That’s the case here. There’s lime marmalade, dried peach slices, honey-laden scones, fresh from the oven, and toasted coconut. It’s beautifully dry with refreshing acidity and layered honey-cake spicy flavours. There’s still a long life ahead but it’s a privilege to taste this now. For the full experience, splash into a decanter and drink at about 8-10C.
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.
