Fiano from a vineyard in the Northern and high-altitude region of Seaview in McLaren Vale. The grapes were harvested with a selectiv® harvester and tipped straight into small open fermenters as whole berries. Fermentation was allowed to occur naturally using the wild yeasts native to the vineyard. The ferment was allowed to tick away slowly until dryness in a coolroom at 12-13C which took approx. 3 weeks, when it was pressed to seasoned Hogs Heads for 8 months maturation on lees prior to bottling. No fining or acid additions.
12.0% Alc/Vol
“This was picked a little on the earlier side, and the making has emphasised jalapeño notes, along with tomatillo and soft herbs – a veritable salsa! There’s also pickled sushi ginger, candied lime, galangal, lemongrass and a mustard fruit note. It’s complex, intriguing and gentle on the phenolics. Very nice.”
