Nose
Aromatically this wine offers hints of lavender, pear, sweet pea, cantaloupe, almond meal and fresh parmesan.
Palate
Fiano is an italian grape variety that has taken very well to our vineyard site and is producing a rich, strongly flavoured and textural white wine with saline crisp acidity. The palate bursts with peach, pear, and orange rind flavours that glide above, delicious savoury minerality leading into a long citrus and salted almond finish.
Winemaking
100% Estate grown from our Forest Grove site. 40% whole bunch pressed to neutral barrel for alcoholic fermentation and matured on lees for a further 4 months. The remaining portion was fermented in tank to retain a bright aromatically lifted to blend with the barrel aged parcel conferring aromatic clarity, depth of flavour and texture to the resulting wine. 40% barrel fermented 60% in stainless steel. 4 Months in neutral French oak.
