Description
A rich, complex and full example of this great variety. The vibrant and lifted nose keeps you going back for further exploration; pear, nectarine, jasmine and lemongrass. The palate is beautifully balanced with great natural acidity and a soft, creamy texture. The wine shows grilled pineapple, peach, lemon, fresh ginger and white pepper.
Food pairing: This is an incredibly versatile white wine variety, to be enjoyed with delicate dishes, as well as standing up to heartier food pairings. A whole baked snapper with Asian flavours or pork belly baked over apples with ginger, star anise and served with grilled fennel.
The grape variety Fiano originates from a province near Campania, east of Naples. Fiano was selected by Coriole when looking for a new southern Italian variety to grow in McLaren Vale, with the first vineyard planted in 2001. The first Australian Fiano was released by Coriole from the 2005 vintage. Perfectly suited to the climate, Fiano is now the largest growing whites category in McLaren Vale.
