Fiano
Grosset Apiana Fiano 2024
Specific clones of this indigenous grape from Campania, grown on poor soil at the Grosset Rockwood Vineyard, on a cool-site in the Clare Valley, have resulted in an extraordinarily powerful and aromatic expression of the variety. This year, there is a greater intensity of flavour which flows through the wine and lingers on the dry finish: bees-wax, candied honey, bliss.

"The most prestigious fiano in the country! Sound the alarms! Good energy here, a crunch of nashi pear, light almond notes, quirky but appealing kombu seaweed characters and saline minerality. It slips along the palate with a little waxiness and finishes with a brittle, pleasingly fresh trill of lemon-gingery flavours and a lick more brine. Gently savoury, though quite shy and delicate at the same time. Pretty wine."
