BACKGROUND
“This Fiano comes from our Upper Tintara Vineyard in Blewitt Springs, which
my great-great grandfather bought in 1871. My father Bob and I planted these vines in 2011 after deciding that Fiano would be well suited to not only this particular location, but also to McLaren Vale’s warm, dry climate.”
WINEMAKING
Picked in the early morning of March 2nd and transported to our winery.
The grapes were pressed and the juice pumped into stainless steel and old
French oak. The juice was then cold settled before being inoculated with a
cultured yeast and fermented at cool temperatures for just under a month.
At sugar dryness the tank component had its yeast lees stirred weekly,
whilst the oak component went through spontaneous malo-lactic and
received fortnightly batonnage. Total maturation of 5 months prior to
filtering and bottling.

flowers and citrus
Fresh minerality is underscored by a textural and
balanced palate evoking green apple and pear on
a long and satisfying finish.

From vines planted on the family vineyard in '11, this was fermented in steel and older oak, with the barrel portion going through mlf; both parcels were lees stirred. Picked early, this is coolly aromatic, in a refined way, with cape gooseberry, nashi, celery seed, tomatillo, butter lettuce and green apple sorbet. That barrel component has fleshed out the mid-palate, yielding a textural sway, and a keenly judged one at that.
