There’s something so enticingly different about Frankland River Riesling when compared to the better known South Australian examples. This wine is a perfect example – initial aromas of jasmine and freshly squeezed lime juice develop into bright persimmon and lemon zest. There’s also a crisp savoury note snapping off a leaf of cos lettuce. Restraint and elegance continues on the palate with a fresh sea air minerality and enticing flavours of lemon myrtle thrown into the mix. Pair with pan-fried King George whiting and a crunchy cos and citrus 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.
