2015 Beach Road Wines Fiano

Fruit was sourced from Langhorne Creek and Clare Valley. Bright deep straw colour with a pale straw hue. Lightly honeyed scents of ripe pears and apricot are followed by lemon butter and spice. Rich and textured in the mouth with flavours of spiced ripe pears and apricots tinged with honey over a backdrop of subtle dried nuts. Dry finish with an aftertaste of honeyed pears, apricots and spicy dried nuts.

Other Reviews….
Fiano's capacity for a generous viscosity, plying the gums with textural intrigue, along with natural acid retention, even in a warm climate, is on full display. This is not to say that the acidity is shrill. Far from it. White flowers and a potpourri of herbs, driven by a whiff of pungent fennel, drive the aromatic spectrum. Bitter almond and apricot ensue. A jangle of solidly mineral melded to juicy acidity keep the wine purring along. Drink by 2018.
