Drinking Window: 2020 - 2022
Hand-harvested from Peters Creek Vineyard in Kangarilla at 330m, a portion of grapes for this fresh, unoaked Fiano was whole bunch pressed. A lively, lifted citrussy example of this Campanian variety, with hints of white pepper, fennel, celery salt and orange zest to its grapefruity, mouthwatering palate. Nice intensity, persistence and line, with a saline edge to the finish.
