About this Wine

Sourced from their grafted vineyard in Birdwood in the Northern Adelaide Hills. Vineyard was grated over to Fiano in 2015. This vineyard is the highest in altitude of the 3 Fiano bottlings and the coolest of all three, 500 meters above sea level, planted in Alluvial Quarts-Shot Clay soil. Brendan highlights the slow ripening of this site due to the consistent cooler temperatures throughout the growing season. Slow rate to achieve phenolic ripeness and sugars.

This wine is most definitely the most ‘classic’ Fiano in style. What I mean by that is the Italian’s sometimes refer to Fiano as ’the Riesling of the South’. Lean, mineral with tension sums up this wine best. When young it’s most definitely a food style light mineral white wine, think Chablis for example.

48 hours of skin contact in the crusher after picking. Pressed then wild fermented in tank. racked off gross lees post ferment. 9 months elevage on fine lees. Occasional battonage during ageing.

Adelaide Hills

The Adelaide Hills is one of the largest geographical wine regions in Australia, and amongst the most diverse in terms of climate, soil and topography. Because of this, many different varietals are planted here with the most dominant being Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris. It is generally thought of as a cooler region, especially when compared to neighbouring Barossa to the north and Mclaren vale and Langhorne Creek to the south.

NZ Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc has been popular in Australia for a while now, but Adelaide hills Sauvignon Blanc (the most planted grape in the region) could be considered the Aussie Savvy Blanc. From www.adelaidehillswine.com.au about their Sauvignon Blanc: “Wines that are textured, edgy, vibrant and dry with exceptional fruit definition, length and crispness that marry superbly with summer seafood.”

You can also find some cool climate shiraz from the Adelaide hills, defying the more common big bold style that is usually seen in Australian Shiraz.
