After spending four months on lees post fermentation, this Fiano was fairly recently bottled at the time of tasting (early December 2025). Despite its youth, it is showing a lovely aromatic intensity of white peach and nectarine, Thai green mango, honeydew melon and a hint of cashew nuts. Fiano is a variety that rewards a year or two in bottle for development of spicy tropical fruit. But this one also delights as a youngster with bright, fresh acidity and a savoury minerality that comes to the fore. Drink with cold prawns by the beach.
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.
