Tasmanian sparkling is here to fill the Champagne shortage and, with the level of quality at this price point, Pipers Tasmania will win a few hearts. With delicate aromas of white blossoms, seashells selected from the sparkling morning sand, green apples and a hint of freshly baked soft white bread, it hits all the targets of cool climate fruit and secondary fermentation in bottle.The bubbles are fine and elegant with fleshy citrus fruits and white nectarines. It feels creamy and ripe before finishing with a zesty lemon acidity. Drink as an aperitif or pair with fresh seafood and lots of crunchy, hot chips by the shore.
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.
