Description
2019 Haselgrove McLaren Vale Fiano
Aroma
Palate
Zesty and refreshing with delicate flavours of citrus and lychee, the palate has a lovey texture with great drive and a moreish finish.
Vineyards
Sourced exclusively from a single vineyard located in the Tatachilla sub region of southern McLaren Vale. This site benefits from the cooling coastal sea breezes that enables Fiano to ripen to perfection, whilst maintaining great natural acidity.
Winemaking
The fruit for this wine was selectively harvested in the cool, early hours of the morning to preserve delicate aromatics. Kept on skins for four hours to build texture then gently pressed with free run and pressing kept separate. Fermented cool in a combination of stainless steel and seasoned French oak. To further built texture and complexity the oak portion was wild fermented.
