This wine hails from the Three Ponds property, in the lower Hunter Valley. Made in the classic Hunter style using inert tanks and then bottled early to allow the purity of this interesting variety to shine. As a young wine it shows aromas of yuzu zest and Fuji apple. It’s light and vibrant with a hint of salinity and a crispness that keeps you reaching for your glass. With time this zesty quality will ease into the honey and toast of aged Semillon, such a delightful reward for patience. Smash it with some oysters now, you know they’re better in winter, and pop some away in the cellar.
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.
