Description
From our Ricca Terra Farms grower in the Riverland of South Australia comes our first Fiano. Hand-picked, wild-fermented in stainless steel before settling in tank on fine lees for the three months. Bottled straight from settling tank with lees-stirred in July, unfined, unfiltered.
Golden straw colour, slightly cloudy by design. Zesty lemon leaps out of the glass with pear, lime leaf and sage. Stonefruits also (yellow peach, nectarine) and hints of tobacco, spice, vanilla and honey. Wow.
The palate is on the zesty citrus side with a grapefruit tang, balanced by sweeter musk/vanilla nuances. Peach and pear again, lingering. A vibrant, sparkly number; refreshing and moreish.
Enjoyed with or without food.
