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.

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.

Brilliant very pale straw colour with greenish tinged edges and a watery hue. Elevated pear and red apple aromas intermix with hints of honeysuckle and lime. Delicious juicy pear and red apple fruits drive the mouth watering palate with some delicate infusions of fresh herbs lying underneath. Excellent intensity and beautifully rounded texturally it finishes with a lick of crisp acidity and a long supple fruit driven aftertaste. Drink over the next year. Alc. 11.5%
