This Fiano is grown by Caj & Genny Amad on their visionary Kersbrook vineyard, in the warmer northern Adelaide Hills. It is a great site for the southern Italian varieties where the warm and dry days are tempered by the cooler nights.
Regardless of the vintage conditions Fiano keeps a wickedly varietal character of chalky minerality, coupled with a lemon pith/bitter almond grip on the finish, making a tantalizingly textured palate and savoury finish.
The fruit was handpicked, chilled & then whole bunch pressed.60% of the juice was fermented with fluffy lees in a stainless steel tank, with the 40% balance was juice filled straight off the press tray to old French oak for wild ferment on full solids for a delicious textural component. Vegan friendly.
"A very pleasing, simple rendering of the variety, with enough hallmark character to please all comers. It's all about nashi pear, mandarin juice and green herbs. Shows off some chalky fuzz to texture and a twist of pleasing, bitter lemon to finish. Racy and refreshing. Go forth." 90pts | Mike Bennie | Halliday Wine Companion
