A relatively new entrant to the Pizzini Pinot Grigio range, Pavona is made from fruit grown from a vineyard situated under Power’s Lookout. Henry Power was a bushranger, famed for teaching Ned Kelly the ropes, and for having a peacock (‘Pavona’ in Italian) that warned of approaching intruders or police. The cool climate fruit showcases bright aromas of white blossoms, crisp green pears and zesty lemons and limes. Ultra crisp and fresh in the mouth; it’s almost Riesling-like in its citrus intensity. 50% is fermented In old oak barrels to build a lovely citrus pith texture. An elegant Pinot Grigio that is a winner with salt and pepper calamari.
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.
