Prepare your palate for a textural journey with this Fiano. One minute it’s all pine nuts and cashew, the next it’s kaffir lime and fresh basil with a touch of the tropics. Drink with anything spicy, or just to spice up your life.

Bright and zesty, cut lime drive blended with triple cream brie texture filling out the palate. Nuts, fresh nashi pear, sweet basil leaf continue the flavour journey, generous and mouthfilling.

When we took a punt on planting a crazy unknown variety in our vineyards, over 15 years ago now, we really weren’t too sure how it was all going to turn out. Over the years, we have learnt that there are a lot of things we love about Fiano: the way it grows and the wines it makes. Slowly but surely our Fiano built a following at our cellar door and in restaurants, then in bottle shops. Now it seems that you all really like Fiano - like, really like like it! So much so, that we keep running out and have had to plant a couple more blocks to keep up with demand. Thanks so much for coming on the journey with us, and we hope you keep enjoying Fiano into the future.
