2025 Lo Stesso Fiano

Round and full with pear, green to red apple and lime fruits, crisp, tangy acidity and a long saline laced finish.

This small planting (less than 1 hectare) of Fiano on the Jasper Hill property is located very close to the winery at the southern end of Georgia’s Paddock. The wine is made by Emily and Georgia Roberts and in the early years was produced entirely from purchased fruit. The 2025 vintage is a 50/50 blend of estate grown and purchased fruit which was partially fermented in used oak and bottled relatively early (under stelvin) to retain freshness.
Bright pale straw to straw colour with a watery hue. Intense aromas of pear, red apple and honeysuckle are released through the nose followed by some lime and subtle ginger spice notes. Round and full on entry with pear, green to red apple and lime fruits melding into a Mediterranean herb and saline mineral like back drop. Crisp, tangy acidity lends an energetic feel to the long saline laced finish.
Drink over the next year.
Alc. 13.5%

Other Reviews….

Floral and charming, with aromas of apricot blossoms, citrus peel, lemon confit, jasmine and chalk. The palate is textural and mid-weighted, with slight phenolic grip and bright acidity leading into a lush, generous mouthfeel with plenty of tension. Delicious. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

Seriously swoon-worthy; Lo Stesso Fiano just keeps getting better and better with each release. The McNallys have worked with the grape for years and experience shows through in a complexity of flavours, textures and the kind of gentle savouriness that adds that extra layer of interest. Explores a world of intense citrus, of lemon balm, grapefruit pith and skin, lemon pastille and orange blossom aromatics, with pear, apple, quince and almond. So smooth; it roams fresh and long, aided by a subtle phenolic grip and tangy acid drive. So good on every level! Drink by 2030.
