The aromas are remarkably floral for Chardonnay; there’s white blossoms and chamomile lifted against ripe white peaches, grapefruit, and spoonfuls of lemon curd. A hint of savoury lime leaf and chalky seaside stones drift in the background. In the mouth it’s silky and creamy in texture but without any buttery notes. The acidity is beautifully integrated – bright, zesty and refreshing. A delightful little Chardonnay at a good price; pair with long summer afternoons, preferably with a view.
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.
