Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Pale lemon with a hint of green hues. Vibrant aromas of fresh citrus, white peach, and subtle floral notes, complemented by hints of almond and honey. On the palate, it offers a refreshing balance of bright acidity and a creamy texture, delivering flavors of lemon zest, green apple, and a touch of minerality. This vintage reflects the region's pristine fruit expression and finishes with a clean, lingering freshness.
Vineyard Notes
The 2024 McLaren Vale vintage saw contrasting conditions; wet and windy weather until late January, followed by 47 dry days with heat spikes from February onwards. Early fruit flavour development enabled harvesting at lower Beaume levels, resulting in wines with pristine fruit characteristics and refined alcohol levels, reflecting balance and vibrancy.
Winemaker Notes
Part of 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 combined with stainless steel tank fermented Fiano for extra acidity and lift, then transferred to tank to stabilize and once reached, bottled.
Food Pairing Notes
Ideal for pairing with seafood or light Mediterranean dishes.
