Nose
Bright aromatics featuring Packham pear, wild herbs & white nectarine
Palate
The palate combines a savoury nature with generous weight & texture. The velvety texture & natural acidity make Fiano the perfect food wine. Fuji apple, thyme & green almond add compelling notes to a beautifully layered palate
Growing Conditions
2024 started early, was both dry & warm, yet the whites exceeded expectations with their precision, freshness, & natural acidity. Bird pressure was greatly reduced due to strong & prolonged flowering of the native Marri blossom
Harvest
Fiano is grown on our Karridale vineyard which is certified sustainably farmed. Picked from a single block of fruit (Block 7), 5 weeks earlier than the previous year
Bottling
Bottled August 2024
Winemaking
One batch was tank fermented for freshness of fruit & the other was wild fermented in barrel. 35% of the blend was matured in older barriques & puncheons for six months, with lees stirring to help build texture.
Appearance
Pale straw in colour
Food Pairing
Prawn, zucchini & mint tagliatelle or Caponata (sweet & sour eggplant stew)
