Jade & Jasper Fiano

Unico Zelo

An aromatic, textured, joyfully juicy wine, Fiano is Unico Zelo's main white variety and most acclaimed. It's ability to be dry grown in the Riverland, functionally a desert, is what makes the grape so promising for Australia from an environmental sustainability perspective but that wouldn't count for much if it didn't prove to be incredibly delicious.

On the nose: floral, lime, peach, a fresh herbaceousness almost like irish spring, and nuanced by a savoury note of cantaloupe rind and coriander seeds. On the palate the acid is so beautifully integrated it really doesn’t hit you it's gorgeous intensity until after you swallow, revealing a toasted almond layer over top of the notes shown on the nose and a sour peach and peach skin complexion. The finish has a big lime juice energy, much brighter than most Italian Fiano we've tried. Such a pleasure, this wine! 2022 vintage - 97 points, Decanter.
