The Fiano comes from two vineyards in McLaren Vale grown by Ben Lacey. One in the Tatachilla sub region of southern McLaren Vale. Only a few kilometres from the sea and almost at sea level, it is a cool maritime influenced area of the Vale. Sandy loam over a shattered limestone base, scattered with ironstone fragments. This parcel was fermented in stainless steel, using a combination of natural and mixed culture yeasts. The second vineyard is in the Northern and high-altitude region of Seaview in McLaren Vale, with thin red loam over a solid limestone geology. The grapes were harvested with a selective harvester and tipped straight into an open fermenters as whole berries. Fermentation was allowed to occur naturally and then later over seeded with aromatic yeast. The ferment was allowed to tick away slowly for approx. 3 weeks. The final blend was 60% cold tank ferment, 40% full skin contact for three weeks.

Elegant bouquet of pineapple, marmalade, touch of cinnamon & nutty vanillan oak. A luscious palate of apricots, honey & citrus flavours combines with botrytis sweetness, finishing with an alluring freshness. Ideal accompaniment to caramelised pear with marscapone cream, drizzled over seasonal fruit with ice cream, blue vein cheese, dried fruit and nuts. Fruit sourced from the Riverina, New South Wales, Australia.

A medium tawny in appearance, the wine has a full warming palate with rich flavours of toffee, cherry vanilla and caramel. The wine although being sweet, still fin is hes fresh and lively. Complimented by aromas of vanilla and toast with a hint of raisins and fruitcake. Best as a late night tipple but can be a perfect wine to accompany chocolate and mixed nuts. This tawny also pairs well with a rich dessert such as sticky date pudding or a chocolate tart. The grapes are harvested at optimum maturity and then fermented for a short ti me on their skins . The wine is then drained and pressed and the grape spirit is added to the fermenting. A portion of th is wine spends time maturing in used Whisky barrels for one year. The wine is then clarified, stabilised and a portion of the wine goes to barrel to mature in ambient temperature. Delicious drinking now but will also cellar for up to 3 years.

Kevin McCarthy re-wrote the pinot grigio rules. Pioneering the planting of the unknown (at the time) Italian grape variety in Victoria’s cool climate in the 1980s saw the variety boom. Now mainstream, here is another progressive take by Kevin. Zippy and bright, enjoy effortless tones of lemon, pear and honey, metered by a subtle saline edge.

Hailing from the rolling hills of the Italian island of Sicily, this ‘Indicazione Geografica Tipica’ Fiano has a straw yellow colour with fine greenish shades. It is dry and aromatic with peach and honey flavours and a subtle hint of almond blossom. On the palate it is lush and full bodied with lovely structure and mouth-watering acidity to finish. This wine pairs beautifully with seafood, creamy cheeses and pasta dishes.
