An array of orchard fruits, with spiced ripe
pears, sweet florals and jasmine.
Appearance
Straw yellow with a bright, vibrant green hue.
Palate
Fine and elegant with zesty minerality,
generous stone fruits, nectarine and spice.
Chalky tannins before a lovely persistent and
fine finish.
Vinification
Fiano was harvested from the Hill-Smith Vineyard in
Woodside 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.
