Judges at the 2026 WA Alternative Varieties and Geographe Wine Show praised its “pretty floral aromatics, stone fruit, gentle elegant palate with great purity and finesse.”

Winemaking

With this being the first Fiano we have made, the decision was taken to keep things simple, allowing the fruit to shine. The fruit was lighlty pressed to tank and clarified prior to fermentation. Moderate temperature through the fermentation allow for maximum fruit and aroma retention. A short period on lees has followed prior to clarification and bottling in July 2026.

Viticulture

The cooler southern climes of Mt Barker were chosen to source our Fiano fruit as we are chasing freshness and vitality. The fruit is grown on a vertical shoot positioned trellis in the Mt barker sub-region of the Great Southern area of western Australia. Moderate yields and dappled sunlight exposure ensure excellent flavour development and concentration.
