Vin Sol Florus Fiano 2025

It has taken an extraordinarily short period of time for McLaren Vale Fiano to challenge some of the very best examples from Italy. The grape is ideally suited to the region, it would seem. Pale lemon, the nose offers nutty notes with stone fruits, lemon curd, florals, apricot skins, cashews, garden herbs and a touch of grapefruit pith. As is often the case with this variety, which is racing headlong from niche to mainstream, it is the texture which really stands out. There is a most appealing dense creaminess, along with a fine flick of acidity running the length, providing energy and freshness. Towards the finish we see the emergence of some sour lemon notes. The wine is of medium length and will provide pleasure for six to eight years. A really good Fiano.
