This wine absolutely leaps from the glass with the enthusiasm of a Labrador puppy. There’s lemon, lime, and juicy white nectarine in droves. In the background a herbal undertone of lemongrass adds complexity alongside a bright seashell minerality. In the mouth is it fresh and lively with gorgeous concentration of flavour and length to impress. Pinot Grigio is often refreshing and crowd-pleasing but not always terribly interesting- this nails the first two and defies the third – it’s absolutely fascinating! Time in the glass reveals more grapefruit, tangy kiwi fruit and bison grass with some moreish texture provided by lees stirring. Drink with…summer. A versatile wine that will effortlessly pair with seafood, salads and spice.
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.
