The aromas open with a spritz of lemon juice, partnered with the sexy funk and minerality of preserved lemon. Spicy nutmeg and cinnamon waltz with lightly toasted almonds, while a whisper of honeysuckle drifts in the background. In the mouth there’s a gorgeous medley of tart citrus and ripe stonefruit; the full spectrum of grapefruit colours, white peaches and silky apricots. Barrel fermentation, with 8 months maturation in French oak, adds a sprinkle of vanilla seeds to a silky buttermilk texture. Evening you want from an Adelaide Hills Chardonnay and sustainably farmed to boot.
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.
