Bryan Martin has a great knack for working with Italian varieties - his Sangiovese and Nebbiolo renditions are in the country's upper echelon and he's no slouch with Fiano. This wine ticks a whole lot of boxes for us. The naturally bright acidity of Fiano makes it a great candidate for Martin's 'texture-first' winemaking style. This has body and flavour with a lovely waxy varietal character making it an excellent sort of any-time, anywhere white wine built for all occasions.

The curious adventurer in Bryan Martin speaks loudest in Chardonnay. Eschewing convention, he toys with vessels and methods to coax every drop of character from the fruit, and the results are always thrilling, striking and delightfully unexpected. Unconventional, sure—but wow, does this taste good.

Here, we have a wine of ample fragrance, texture and appeal. It’s perfumed with yellow florals, citrus and stone fruits and a nice, subtle background of savoury nuttiness. The components are well balanced, working in harmony to create a wine of fresh acidity and full, fleshy textures, making this a gastronomic delight. Consume as you would a Chardonnay—not too cold and in a generous glass.
