This is a beautifully restrained example of Sauvignon Blanc, showing more in common with Sancerre than Marlborough. There’s plenty of bright citrus with juicy Meyer lemons, fragrant pink grapefruit and a hint of white peach. The characteristic Sauvignon Blanc herbaceous notes show up as lemongrass and freshly picked thyme. Sherbetty pineapple acidity refreshes the palate against a silky texture. Pair with pan-fried King George whiting with a zesty citrus and fennel salad.
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.
