2021 Cosa Nostra
Fiano
93 POINTS; #2 of 56 Fiano in Australia
'Medium straw-yellow colour, showing some development; spicy fruit and smoked smallgoods aromas combine on the bouquet with some stony mineral touches, and the bottle-age has filled out the palate nicely. It's medium-full bodied and rich, but also very dry, the finish long and cleansing. The savouriness suggests some barrel involvement. A generous, fulsome fiano. Drink 2023-2029."

Fruit was hand-picked from a single vineyard in the Heathcote region of Victoria. Grapes were whole bunch pressed and left on lees for 6 months to add complexity. Post ferment the wine stayed in 50% old oak and 50% stainless tank (to retain freshness of aromatics) for 4 months. No fining agents used. Single filtration prior to bottling.
