An array of orchard fruits, with spiced ripe

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 HSV vineyard in Woodside then
gently pressed leaving two core juice components. The free
run received a pure, low turbidity ferment in stainless still to
deliver perfumed and vibrant notes. The pressings were
barrel fermented and remained on lees in oak for several
months to add complexity as well as texture and finesse.
Partial malolactic fermentation was completed for additional;
palate weight and structure. Ahead of bottling, the various
components were subject to a final blending exercise to
achieve the ultimate valance in the finished wine.
Food Matching
With Seafood, anywhere warm and sunny.
