A punchbowl of fruit, with apples and nashi pears, ripe stone fruit and jasmine.
Appearance
Straw yellow with a bright, vibrant green hue.
Palate
Juicy, with classic minerality and texture. The
theme of stone fruits and citrus continues on the
palate before a lovely persistent finish.
Vinification
Fiano was harvested from a single vineyard in Auburn in the
cool of night then gently pressed leaving two core juice
components. The free run received a pure, low turbidity
ferment in stainless steel to deliver perfumed and vibrant
notes. The pressings were barrel fermented and remained on
lees in oak for seven months to add complexity as well as
texture and finesse. Partial malolactic fermentation offers
further palate weight and structure. Ahead of bottling, the
various components were subject to a final blending exercise
to achieve the ultimate balance in the finished wine
Food Matching
With Seafood, anywhere warm and sunny.
