Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Pale straw with a hint of vibrant green. Aromas of citrus blossom, kaffir lime leaves and green apple lift from the glass. Balanced acidity provides the structure for flavours of quince, lemon, ginger, honeysuckle and hints of white pepper. The palate is very textural with generosity and silky persistence.
Vineyard Notes
2023 was a late, cool vintage with a lot of wind during flowering stage which resulted in a lower crop level in Fiano. The cool ripening period allowed for greater length of flavour development producing an intense, rich and savoury wine.
Winemaker Notes
The Fiano was barrel fermented in 4 year old french oak, with lees stirred every week for 3 months to generate texture and mid palate weight. The wine was then transferred to tank to stabilize and once reached, bottled.
Food Pairing Notes
Salt and Pepper Squid, paired with a lemon and avocado salad.
