There’s lovely aromatic freshness with all the tropical and citrus aromas that Sauvignon Blanc is admired for, yet also a gentle restraint and balance, with fresh hay, and lemongrass lingering in the background. Beautifully dry in the mouth with the crisp acidity balanced by concentrated fruit flavours and a subtle savoury texture. This is a style that makes you reconsider Sauvignon Blanc as a variety that can be more versatile than some of its kiwi cousins. Pair with a goats cheese, leek and walnut pasta.
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.
