Product Tasting Notes
WINEMAKER’S NOTE: Straw yellow colour with
fine greenish shades. Intense aromas of
jasmine, ripe peach and citrus fruit with
underlying notes of honey and almond
blossom. The palate is rich and full-bodied with
a lovely creamy texture and minerality on the
finish.
VINTAGE: The 2021 growing season was
characterised by a moderate spring followed by
a dry and warm summer. These conditions
made for one of the earliest vintages in recent
years. Fruit was in perfect condition and full
flavoured.
VINEYARDS: Fiano is one of the most renowned
typical Italian grape varieties. Grapes for this
wine were sourced from vineyards in southwestern Sicily where Fiano vines grow luxuriant
in medium textured and limestone soils.
VINIFICATION: Grapes were fermented and
matured in stainless steel tanks at a controlled
temperature to maintain freshness and aromas.

CFV –
2022 Sommeliers Choice Awards – “A mineral-driven wine with notes of spearmint, peach, honeydew, and stone. Medium-bodied with tropical notes of lychee and parsnip supported by strong acidity and a long bracing finish. Great value wine.”
CFV –
Winestate Magazine-90 ponts- Generous musky nose and a rich creamy palate with lots of ripe citris flavours.
CFV –
The Real Review- Huon Hooke- 90 points- “Light yellow colour leads into a nose of dried apricot/dried mixed peels, and the palate is crisply refreshing with lemony notes and a clean, dry but softly balanced finish that leaves a more-ishness. Really attractive drinkability.” (2022)
