Wine & Vintage

Wine & Vintage

Fiano is a relatively new variety to Australia, and originates from the Campania region of Italy. Fiano is super heat and drought tolerant, being able to maintain acidity in the grapes even in our hot South Australian summers. This minimal intervention Fiano is made with indigenous yeast and includes portions fermented in concrete eggs and large format French oak.

The Year That Continued

The Year That Continued

We were very thrilled to receive a trophy for our 2024 Oliver’s Taranga Fiano at the McLaren Vale Wine Show. The McLaren Vale Wine show is an institution in our region, that culminates in a massive wine community lunch known locally as ‘The Bushing Festival’. This celebration has been going for more than 50 years, and at this event the wine show trophy winners are announced. Much singing and eating and chatting happens throughout the lunch, until the final, and most sought after, trophy is announced - The Bushing King or Queen is crowned. Awarded to the best wine of the McLaren Vale wine show each year, the winner gets to adorn robes and crown, and be adored by the region! While we didn’t win the big award (in fact a white wine has only won once in the more than 50 year history!), we were thrilled to have our Fiano recognised, and shall continue celebrating well into 2025!

[2024 vintage] Yellow peaches, pineapple core and guava skin. Wattle, frangipani blooms and nutmeg spice. A wine on the weekly rotation for its generous nature, price point and ability to make any cuisine look good. (Even a collapsed lasagna). This is at home in the Vale and a shining white variety with an excellent reputation for quality. The very subtle oak contact rounds out the steep acidity and makes for a wine with charm and an affable personality. This screams ‘drink me often’. Serve with vegetable pasta, pork sausage or smoked salmon pastries. 95pts

[2024 vintage] Back to back brilliance for the Queen of Fiano, Corrina Wright is dancing on the balls of her feet with this variety. And if you know Corrina, she will probably be dancing on her 'carpets of Instagram' somewhere. The 2023 release was elite and here we go again with this 2024. A terrific wine to sit back and consider, lemon juice, canned pear, quince, sea spray and a little saltiness peel off layers of interest with ease. A sheet of minerality is draped across the top with a fine rhythm of creaminess tapping its foot to the beat. A lemony tang offers the parting gift and seduces you to come back for more. And why not? This is quite delicious. Go here. Drink now. 95pts

[2024 vintage] Fiano is a variety that we are seeing more and more of on the shelves, and this is the perfect example of why. A grape variety from the warm, southern and coastal Campania region in Italy, it’s clearly at home on Aussie turf, especially at the hands of Fiano queen, Corrina Wright. The nose is resplendent with ripe yellow peach, a brush past the rosemary bush, a sea breeze, slightly waxy preserved lemon pith, sandstone, dried ginger and the heady inhale of a new paperback. Energy, energy, energy! There’s plenty of it here, with a great tension between the crisp and fresh acid line and the creamy purity of fruit with textural, ripe, fine sandpaper phenolics. This dances over the tongue and wakes up both the taste buds and the mind. A total delight, full of excitement. All hail Fiano! 94pts
