This is what summer smells like: fleshy fresh chunks of honeydew and rockmelon, juicy mandarin and pink grapefruit segments, lemon blossoms in the cool of a summer morning and the minerality of pebbles in a trickling stream. The flavours are citrusy and savoury with Tahitian lime, Meyer lemon and a melange of spicy, almost peppery fresh herbs. There’s lovely palate weight, and a silky texture with pink grapefruit acidity. Ultra fresh and moreish, with enough flavour and texture to stand up to spicy curry or shine alongside lighter salads.
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.
