Description

Another spot-on Fiano here from one of South Australia's brightest value producers - Jericho.

We've seen some outstanding Fianos from McLaren Vale, Riverland and even Clare Valley, but the Adelaide Hills has enormous potential with this Italian variety as well. Sourced from two vineyards at opposite ends of the Adelaide Hills - Kersbrook, with old vines producing small bunches, and Kuitpo, an ideal place for growing bright ripe fruit.

If you're looking for a versatile, introductory Fiano to try you could hardly do better than this. Textural, full-flavoured yet fresh as a daisy - it's a lovely, well-balanced wine.

"This is delightfully bright and fruit forward... the finish racy and long. Delicious."
- Marcus Ellis (Halliday Wine Companion)

From two sites in the Adelaide Hills – Kersbrook and Kuitpo – fermented and raised in steel. This is delightfully bright and fruit forward, with fresh green pear, lime, orchard blossoms, green almond and a subtle herbal note, recalling fresh mint and butter lettuce. There’s enough texture to give mid-palate shape, with the finish racy and long. Delicious.

    Little known gem

    We discovered this at a local restaurant, has become our favourite drop

Textural, Fresh & Floral
Varietal explosions of tropical pineapple, honeydew and pear leap out the glass, followed by subtle lees derived notes of almond, hay and elderflower. This Italian variety, native to the hills of Campania in Southern Italy is well suited to the extreme ends of the Adelaide Hills, from which we source our fruit. The higher altitude of these vineyards allows for slow, even ripening, retaining natural acidity, and vibrant fruit flavours.

Wine Notes
Designed with freshness in mind, this wine has been fermented in stainless steel to maintain the varietal spice and tropical fruit flavours. Four months on fine lees following ferment has built creamy texture to complement the fresh acidity of the fruit profile. Nutty and floral lees derived characters underpin the freshness of the palate, without overwhelming the delicacy of the flavour profile.

Vineyard
Sourced from two vineyards at opposite ends of the Adelaide Hills. Kersbrook in the north provides a cool dry climate, with gentle east facing slopes of shallow loam soils prefect for old vines to produce small bunches, full of flavour intensity and soft tannins. Kuitpo in the extreme south of the Hills provides sunny days and cool nights, ideal for even ripening.

Food Pairing
The texture and fresh acid profile of this wine allows it to stand up to bold flavours such as salmon or crab pasta.

Cellaring
The vibrant acid profile of this wine and lees derived texture lends itself well to drinking now through the next five years.
