2023 Hungerford Hill Fiano, Hilltops

An outstanding fiano with energy, weight, length and layers. Pure, inviting aromas of passionfruit and green guava, followed by glacé pear and custard apple flavours with welcomed savouriness and lively spice. While the palate is full, textured and satisfying, it has pleasing phenolics and zesty acidity, giving the palate freshness and form.
