Fiano has recently evolved into the flagship white variety of the McLaren Vale region. So now it sets such a high standard. Fiano also lends itself to varying styles.
This particular estate-grown varietal is no exception. An aromatic bomb straight up leaping out of the glass we have strong floral notes of citrus blossom with hints of elderflower. A complex palate is next. Nashi Pear, candied apple up front. Hints of lemon & lime zest reinforce the wonderful natural acidity of Fiano.
Subtle notes of stonefruit gained by fermentation on lees, rounds out the palate adding just another layer plus a textural component to balance out this fantastic example of an estate-grown Blewitt Springs Fiano.
It also suits so many food styles & cuisines, including notoriously hard to wine match dishes such as rich roasted white meats like pork belly & game poultry. Spicy Asian. Creamy pasta. Shellfish & all seafood. Such a versatile food wine.
