The Loose Cannon
Fiano 2024 - BRAND NEW WINE!
Sometimes you need a Loose Cannon just to mix things up; someone ready to take a few audacious risks that just can’t be calculated, embracing the unexpected without permission or plan. Rewards often follow risks and so it is here; our ‘The Loose Cannon’ Fiano is all rewards.
Everybody needs a Loose Cannon from time to time!
Winemaker's Notes
Fiano is originally a Southern Italian grape and takes its name from the grape variety the Romans called Vitis apiana – vine beloved of bees. It’s more than a bit beloved here in McLaren Vale, seeming to straddle flavour territory somewhere between Pinot Gris and Chardonnay – often even the best of both.
Bouquet & Palate
A meadow of florals fresh with dew. Honeysuckle, lemon blossom, thyme. Brioche, custard powder, and oven bronzed pastry. Lemon grass and sorbet. Florals waft through to the palate. Taut and crisp. Succulent citrus swaggers sun dazed throughout. Lightly textured with a grip that gives shape and slip to the fruit.
Food Match
Keep it fresh and light; the crisp pastry of an Italian torta salata with artichokes and potato is a perfect partner for a Loose Cannon.
