Description
Bella’s Fiano named after our newest addition to the family, Bella the border collie. A new project in the area of emerging Italian varieties that has been on the drawing board for a couple of years. In 2024 we were lucky enough to secure 2 tons of fruit from a well-established vineyard on Springfarm Road and the project came to life, then in 2025 a frost event stopped us producing the next vintage which was disappointing as the wine was very popular. 2026 had another frost event that again impacted our potential to produce a wine, so it forced us to seek parcels of fruit outside of the Clare Valley.
McLaren Vale was the obvious choice, and we were lucky enough to secure a couple of tons from a grower in McLaren Vale which we hope to work with again going forward. Keeping to the 2024 formula to produce a similar profile Fiano we maintained similar winemaking techniques to produce a more textural style with 25% of the juice fermented on skins for 4months before we blended with the free run juice in tank.
The wine shows lovely acidity with a hint of honey and nuts with fresh pear, citrus. Lovely textural mouthfeel and acidity makes this a lovely food wine and will develop further in the bottle with a couple of years cellaring.
