First Ridge Fiano 2025

The Mudgee region is starting to prove itself as an excellent site for alternative varieties, especially those from Italy. The large collection of bling that these wines are accumulating is testimony to this. This wine was harvested at its ripest, pressed off skins, with 30% undergoing wild fermentation. The colour is a shimmering pale lemon. The nose provides an intriguing combination of minerals, pears, nuts, stone fruits and florals. There is good concentration. This is taut with good intensity and serious length. A very attractive example what Fiano can offer and a wine which should provide pleasure for the next four to six years at least.
