From the first moment of pouring, intensely concentrated aromas of jasmine and orange blossoms billow up from the glass. This is the very definition of an aromatic wine. As it settles, the delicate sweetness of Pink Lady apples drift against the citrus tang of lemon and lime zest. Pure finesse in the mouth; tantalisingly silky with a delicate spritz of residual sugar (5g/L) that adds viscosity and balances the acidity. In turn, the bright acidity sweeps away the hint of sweetness, leaving the palate perfectly refreshed. As the talc minerality lingers on the finish, you’ll find yourself reaching for another glass. Pair with yellowfin tuna sashimi, flecked with finger lime pearls.
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.
