2017 Amato Vino Bianco

Bringing together the best of two worlds from our Ricca Terra Farms grower. Slankamenka Bela, the savoury/saline ancient Balkans grape variety, paired with Fiano with its plush, lush, generous flavours. Both wild-fermented and maintained separately in stainless steel tanks on light lees for five months, then blended, bottled unfined and lightly filtered.

The pungent scents of Slankamenka Bela lead the way. A heady mix of herb and florals – musk, jasmine and lavender, with fruits in the ripe tropical spectrum. Zesty citrus and honeysuckle are courtesy of Riverland Fiano at its finest. On the palate there’s generous lychee/kiwifruit, rockmelon, honeyed lime, and that saline edge. Zesty orange and kaffir lime, some green apple and pear/quince, all sustained by a crisp, bright, briny minerality and carried along by the oily texture.

Enjoy with seafood, salad and spice. Especially oysters!
