Fiano is a grape variety that hails from the Campania region in Italy and is currently making waves in McLaren Vale. A variety well suited to our Mediterranean climate and a perfect accompaniment to our coastal lifestyle. 

All of the decisions made in making this wine were to maintain the freshness and purity of both variety and place. Harvested in the cool of the night and gently pressed in the early hours of the morning. The wine underwent a slow and cool fermentation, the majority in stainless steel to preserve the aromatics, then a small amount fermented in a three year old French oak puncheon to add a layer of complexity. One month of extended lees contact followed fermentation to enhance texture and mouthfeel before bottling.  

Highly aromatic, this wine opens with vibrant notes of Meyer lemon and lime juice, followed by fresh, crisp pear and a hint of Granny Smith apple. Subtle undertones of fennel and white pepper add complexity to the nose. This years Fiano has a lovely textural line with a little lees work and the inclusion of a single oak barrel upping the complexity this year. Flavours of ripe pear and chamomile unfold gracefully, supported by refreshing acidity and a saline, finely structured finish. A brilliant pairing with salt and pepper squid.
