About The Wine
The Pawn Fiano is a nod to the southern Italian coasts where this grape thrives, offering a light yet delightful wine.
With aromas of pear, orange blossom, honey and toasted hazelnuts, you know you're in for a treat the moment you smell the wine. There is a surprising richness on the palate, with more fruity and spicy tones and lots of acidity making this more than a one-note wine. The sense of minerality adds some zing in the mouth, resulting in a light yet compelling wine.
Pair it with some not-too-spicy Asian food or even some seafood or white meats and you're in for a good time.
About The Pawn Wine Co.
The Pawn Wine Co. had its beginning in 2002 when vignerons and winemakers Tom Keelan and his wife Rebecca Willson had their fruit rejected by one of the monopolising monolithic wineries in the region as it was deemed to ‘not be good enough’. They were pawns, played and discarded by a soulless giant.
So, with a bit of a middle finger to the giant, they set out to make small hand selected parcels of wine from alternative varieties grown in the Adelaide Hills and Langhorne Creek.
Like pawns, these varieties were sacrificed by wine corporates and blended away to insignificance. Tom and Rebecca have set out to identify other idyllic viticultural sites and hand selected parcels of fruit within the Adelaide Hills and Langhorne Creek to produce wines that are not only a bit unconventional, but ultimately enjoyable to drink.

From the Producer
GOES BEST WITH:
Given that Fiano hails from a region that is coastal bound, it makes sense it is a wine that works well with seafood – baked fish, shellfish, etc. It’s perfect with vegetarian pasta dishes, too, as the acidity in the wine offsets the richness of cream-based sauces and complements the acidity of tomato-based recipes
CELLARING TRIVIA:
This wine is enjoyable now, but has the structure and varietal pedigree to evolve beautifully over the next 3 to 5 years.

Critic Reviews
"Light straw hue. Fresh, crisp, grassy aromas, the palate light and also grassy, straightforward, soft and not too dry, the rather short finish tangy with acidity and suggesting food would work well with it." Huon Hooke (The Real Review)

We'll even retrospectively issue you store credit if you have already purchased from us but you see a lower price somewhere later on. Our price match policy can be seen here.
Can coupons and discounts be stacked? No, only one discount or coupon can be applied to an order at once.
I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine. So for example, if the website will only allow you to add 3 bottles and no more, then that is all we have of that particular wine. The good news is we may be able to order more for you. Just contact us on 02 8376 8775 or hello@differentdrop.com and we'll organise the additional quantity for you.
Does Different Drop have a physical store? No. Just an a warehouse/office. We occasionally do events however, so sign up to our newsletter or follow us on instagram to stay in the loop.
Can I special order a wine you do not sell? If it’s doable, then we’ll make it happen. Just contact us directly via phone, chat or email and we’ll find out for you right away. Please note that in most cases special orders such as these will need to be in full case lots (6 or 12 bottles).
