Whole-bunch pressed, wild ferment,
10 months on lees in chestnut bottle, stainless steel, old oak. Forget “alternative”, fiano is now a mainstream rising star. Sourced off Cambrian soils and boasting a mineral, gunflint edginess, this Heathcote fiano brings effortless class to the glass in savoury pear skin, bitter almond, quince, pear and apple with honeysuckle florals. Crisp, even and fleshy with a touch of lemon barley to close. Delicious.

Notes
Fiano is a vine variety this visionary grape-growing family first imported into Australia in 2002 and made a first wine from back in 2005. The vines grow on the Chalmers Heathcote vineyard’s red Cambrian soils at an elevation of 150-170m. Hand-picked, whole bunch pressed wild ferment; no acid adds 10 months on lees in chestnut botte, stainless steel & old oak.
The 2023 Fiano is elegant and energetic, with flavours of lemon chews, coriander stalk, native mint and river stone. The wine is textural, poised, and drives all those lovely morish flavours right to the back palate and then lingers. It’s vegan-friendly, generous, driven and balanced.
