Fiano

Shows what you can do with this variety with a little flair. In this case, Garth Cliff has put the wine through some short skin contact and high solids, all of which adds texture and complexity to a variety that already exhibits some nice characters. But in this case, it's produced a wine of richness yet, at the same time,...

Margaret River

Fiano

Bit of a fan of this famous Sicilian variety out of Margaret River. Fruit is always quite generous, certainly in good years like '26, creating a lovely textural feel on the palate. This one has a dry savouriness, which introduces a subtle degree of complexity: slightly nutty, a bit of citrus, even lemon meringue. Lovely, balanced and completely engaging example...

Margaret River

Fiano

This fiano is sourced out of Margaret River and has a lot going for it. It's a variety that's really found a home in many places in Western Australia, and Margaret River in particular. The nose has a slightly lemony citrus character, with fresh sea foam minerality. The palate, though, is quite intense with a nutty lemon zip about it.

Great Southern

This variety is most famous for the wines it produces in southern Italy and Sicily, but it has found a home in Western Australia, where it performs well.

Fiano

Juniper has been making excellent fiano for a number of years now, and this one, from what was an excellent vintage, is as good as any. The aromas display that slightly lemony citrus character with some subtle nuttiness, and then the palate is textured with a creaminess that is balanced by an edgy citrus crisp acid. It really is a...

There's not masses of this variety planted in Western Australia, but whenever it emerges, it shows just how good it can be, especially down at Margaret River. This is a fiano with a bright, lively feel about it. On the nose, there's a little lime and even a faint hint of coriander, with a squeeze of lemon. The palate has...

Fiano

A variety that continues to find a home in many parts of the state. It’s wine of both purity and flavour. On the nose, a mix of nutty pear and citrus provides a nice opening. Then the palate displays richness with a dry savoury element pushing through to a long finish. There’s excellent texture and richness here held with focus...

Swan Valley

Fiano

Fiano is a variety that has found a home in most areas of the state. This one is interesting. It has had a little time with skin contact and was naturally fermented, which has given it that deeper, richer intensity that is so appealing. The wild ferment certainly brought additional palate and aromatic complexity. It is sort of nutty and...

A highly perfumed and flavoursome example of this Italian variety that is making solid inroads into the Australian drinking psyche. Sourced from Margaret River. A mix of honey nectar and a squeeze of lemon to tighten creates a delicious current drinking wine. It’s textured and seamless with a lovely satiny feel.

Frankland River

Fiano

A variety that continues to increase in popularity and with good reason. It is a thoroughly beautiful crisp and fresh drink. In this case a little barrel fermentation has added to the palate providing texture and richness while still retaining a fresh clean acidity. A little honey and citrus with a slightly nutty character provides the interest.
