Vintage Notes:
The 2011 Fiano is finally here! A wet vintage provided some challenges in terms of disease, but the Fiano variety seems to be extremely resistant from mildews and botyritis. The fruit and the vines looked stunning, and we are excited to bring this 2011 Fiano to you.
Fiano is a relatively new variety to Australia, and originates from the Campagna region of Italy. This is our 4th vintage of Fiano and we love working with it. A very interesting variety, being able to maintain acidity in the grapes, even in our South Australian summers.
This minimal intervention Fiano is made with indigenous yeasts, and has no added acid. The 2011 Fiano has been made without the use of oak.
