Heady aromas of rose petals and pink musk sticks erupt into the air as you crack the screwtop. There’s lychees in syrup and cinnamon-scented poached pear after a swirl in the glass. It’s distinctly sweet with a rich, ripe pear flesh texture that feels so sensual in your mouth. A fresh acidity offers enough brightness to encourage pairings with savoury dishes. Often Australian Gewurtztraminer is made in quite a dry style but this wine is a beautiful reminder of the intensity the grape can achieve with some residual sugar to enhance those hedonistic aromas. The perfect BYO next time you are heading out for spicy food.
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.
