This is a sweeter style made from Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc. The grapes are late harvest, picked at the end of May, to allow for accumulation of sugar and riper fruit flavours. The aromas are a delicate expression of the two varieties – lime juice cordial, lemon zest, kiwi fruit and passionfruit flower. On the palate there’s a velvety citrus pith texture with zesty grapefruit and lemon flavours. Being a late harvest style, it’s sweet, but not intensely so. The crisp acidity leaves the finish beautifully fresh. The balance of this wine promises delightful pairings with cheese and fresh fruit or a spicy thai stirfry.
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.
