Description
Sourced from a young vineyard just outside of Clare, this 7-year-old site is now producing fruit of exceptional character - and our first release of Fiano is proof!
Delicate aromas of crushed apple, lemon blossom and spring flowers lead into a bright, citrus-driven palate. Picked at first light and gently pressed, the wine carries a refreshing backbone of lemon and grapefruit, finishing with a distinctive, savoury touch of olive-juice salinity.

Sourced from a young vineyard just outside of Clare, this 7-year-old site is now producing fruit of exceptional character — and our first release of Fiano is proof. Picked at first light and gently pressed, every decision in making this wine was about preserving the delicate aromatics and natural freshness that Fiano is capable of.
The result is a wine that opens with beautiful floral lift — crushed apple, lemon blossom, spring flowers — and moves into a bright, citrus-driven palate with real presence. Then comes the finish that makes Fiano one of the world's most distinctive white varieties: a savoury, olive-juice salinity that lingers and makes you reach for another glass.
