Alluvium Fiano

Unico Zelo

Brendan & Laura's Alluvium Fiano is their pride and joy, an aromatic, tensile creation with a crystal hewn definition. In their words "Ever had a wine that tastes like a laser?" Grown at the epic Mylkappa Vineyards around the corner from the winery. Due to the Adelaide Hills' cooler climate, the Alluvium cuvée shows a pristinely citrus quality.

The nose gives stewed oranges and peach preserves with a slightly leesy warmth, one of those really intriguing aromas that holds your attention, showing a bit of toasted fennel seed, a bit of toasted chickpea or papadam, just drawing you in like a tractor beam, making you wish you could turn this into a perfume you could simply wear. On the palate we are met with a more leesy, less fruity Finao than the equally delicious Jade & Jasper, the acidity more textured, the flavours rolling over the palate in waves of apple, peach skin, red plum, more savoury and thoughtful, giving a finish of lemongrass and sesame seed. Stunning. 2020 - 94 points, Decanter.
