Nose
An aromatic nose of pear drops and peach/apricot/loquat and a hint of vanilla.
Palate
The palate is pitch perfect with fine fruit flavours balancing on a beautiful line of natural acid giving into a crisp refreshing length.
Growing Conditions
Fiano is a grape that enjoys the heat as it hails from Sicily, amongst the ash and dark soils below Mount Etna. Grown in the warmer region to the north of Margaret River, it has thrived under the care of Lynne and Phil Foster within their immaculate vineyard near Yallingup.
Harvest
All the grapes were handpicked in the morning, delivered quickly to the winery for a quick chill prior to being lightly pressed at the winery, thus preserving all the aromatics and richness of the juice.
Winemaking
Clive and Kate at Fraser Gallop Estate pressed the wine off into a small steel tank and let the wine go through ferment without any delay. A heady aroma of pear drops and peach lifted off the wine as it was fermented through to dry. No modifications, no additions, just fined and bottled and sent to you. A delicious wine made with the Margaret River lifestyle in mind thus drink and share with good friends and good food. Enjoy.
Appearance
Very light straw coloured wine.
Food Pairing
Food matches for this wine include seafood (fresh squid quickly pan fried in butter or prawns grilled whole), asian styled dishes (glass noodle salads with the chilli toned down), and creamy poultry dishes.
