Bright lemon yellow in colour. Aromas of citrus, ginger and jasmine flowers. Flavoursome on the palate, the wine shows zingy citrus and subtle lees-ageing support.

Typically the most popular of the elite Unico Zelo Single Vineyard Fianos. Richly flavoured, textural and fresh.

Predominantly from the family estate vineyard at Moyhu on the King River with two other small vineyards.

While the Rutherglen region is most famous for bold reds and fortified wines, they are quickly making a name for their alternative white varieties such as this tasty Fiano. Vibrant pale yellow in appearance. Sea spray, guava and lemon aromas. Ripe and juicy entry with wet rock and almond notes under pear and melon core flavours, well-balanced acidity, and a long, savoury finish.

Brilliant very pale straw colour with greenish tinged edges and a watery hue. Elevated pear and red apple aromas intermix with hints of honeysuckle and lime. Delicious juicy pear and red apple fruits drive the mouth watering palate with some delicate infusions of fresh herbs lying underneath. Excellent intensity and beautifully rounded texturally it finishes with a lick of crisp acidity and a long supple fruit driven aftertaste. Drink over the next year. Alc. 11.5%

The artistic expression of alternative artists distance themself from the contemporary, worrying not about official trends, but focusing on creative freedom. Infamously dodging the law, paving the way for underground excellence and painting bold dreamscapes of colour. Our winemakers have crafted these wines using alternative varieties and methods, creating fresh and approachable blends unique in their style. This vibrant Fiano exhibits citrus blossom, melon and pear aromas, which continue on the palate leaving layers of flavour and a long, crisp mouthwatering finish. Best enjoyed when paired with a plate of seafood.

This wine displays the depth and balance for which this variety has developed a cult wine personality following. On the nose it displays aromas of guava, citrus and subtle marjoram spice. Wrapping around a core of chalky minerality are flavours of nectarine, citrus, melon and hazelnuts. Bringing it all together is a bitter almond character that complements the savoury and textured finish. Drink now or be rewarded with cellaring for up to 10 years.

The Fiano comes from two vineyards in McLaren Vale grown by Ben Lacey. One in the Tatachilla sub region of southern McLaren Vale. Only a few kilometres from the sea and almost at sea level, it is a cool maritime influenced area of the Vale. Sandy loam over a shattered limestone base, scattered with ironstone fragments. This parcel was fermented in stainless steel, using a combination of natural and mixed culture yeasts. The second vineyard is in the Northern and high-altitude region of Seaview in McLaren Vale, with thin red loam over a solid limestone geology. The grapes were harvested with a selective harvester and tipped straight into an open fermenters as whole berries. Fermentation was allowed to occur naturally and then later over seeded with aromatic yeast. The ferment was allowed to tick away slowly for approx. 3 weeks. The final blend was 60% cold tank ferment, 40% full skin contact for three weeks.

Clean, crisp and dry but much more textural than the standard Fiano. A great example of careful skin contact displaying lemon pith and complex white tannins.
