Being our first ever Fiano there was a lot of excitement while making this wine. Our vines produced a tiny yield which resulted in small berries, bursting with flavour.
In the winery it was all about nurturing the wine into bottle and less about winemaking inputs.
Playing around with whole bunch pressed fruit as well as a skin contact parcel, we were able to create a wine which highlights the lovely versatility of Fiano. Post ferment the wine was aged on yeast lees with the occasional batonnage for good measure, building texture on the palate.
Following some time on lees the wine was sent for bottling locking in the fruit intensity and concentration for everyone to enjoy.
