Tasting Notes

McLaren Vale is located near some of the best beaches in Australia. This coastal region provides locals with gnarly surf breaks, and a maritime climate perfect for growing Fiano. Much like the energetic coastline, one sip of this refreshing wine will have your neurons surfing sensorial, synaptic brainwaves. A beautiful pale straw colour. The lovely honey-suckle and spicey perfume lead towards more tropical fruits, honeydew melon, stonefruit, and a refreshing green mango undercurrent, with a hint of pear. Pure unadulterated juicy goodness. There is a slightly creamy texture that leads into a lively, zippy finish. Drink now or watch me evolve with time. A generous and delightful white wine.

Reviews and Accolades

AWARDS & ACCOLADES

Halliday Companion - Ned Goodwin MW

This is good, attesting to how well fiano does in the region, even when handled rudimentarily: ripe, machine-harvested fruit, cool fermented. Quince, fennel and almond notes. The mid palate, plump.The finish, textural, easygoing and long enough. Solid drinking.

The Real Review - Stuart Knox

Pale, yet vibrant, lemon-yellow colour. Lemongrass, honey blossom and mango aromas. A medium-weighted white, with a rich core of tropical fruit that's balanced to a citrus line up high and seaside succulents down low. Ample acidity to match the fruit-weight, so the wine flows quite long. Great seaside drinking

88

The Wine Front - Campbell Mattinson

This is loaded up with flavour. In fact it’s a ball of it. Melon, honeysuckle, mango and apple flavours burst into energetic life, green pineapple characters then helping to carry the finish Boisterous, you’d call it. Fruit-salad-y.
