Tasting Notes

Aroma

Aromas of tropical fruit, crisp rockmelon, and nashi pear jump from the glass along with ripe stone fruit.

Appearance

Pale straw in colour.

Palate

Clean and pure on the palate with bountiful fruit and floral characters. Flavour length is provided by crisp acidity and a light textural element thanks to the wine’s time spent fermenting in 950L concrete egg and seasoned French oak barriques.

Food Matching

Seafood is a natural match for this wine – think fresh Marron with a light garlic and herb butter sauce.

Winemakers Comments

Falanghina originates from Campania, Italy (the same region famous for Fiano). Luscious fruit and piercing natural acidity combine to form a wine of concentration and poise. The variety is late ripening and loves moderate to warm Mediterranean climates meaning it has a natural home in McLaren Vale.

Whole-bunch pressed, then fermentated in a combination of 950L concrete eggs (55%) and older French oak barriques (45%), with a short élevage before bottling in May. A new addition to the Welkin range, and a promising one. It’s sunny and racy all at once, with corella pear, citron, crisp golden apple, fennel and a little saltiness. Flavour packed, refreshingly crisp, faintly chewy and textured for food, this is good stuff. Points: 93/100
