2024 Singlefile Great Southern Fiano
VINEYARD & WINEMAKING
The 2024 growing season delivered warmer than usual conditions for growing the lesser known fiano varietal in the Great Southern region. Spring and summer were dry and warm, encouraging full ripe fruit flavour before an early harvest.
We picked the fruit early on 27 February 2024. We sorted the fruit and then pressed the fiano juice. The juice underwent a long and slow cold fermentation in a stainless-steel tank immediately after pressing to preserve the natural fruit characters. When the wine had completed the fermentation, it was racked off its lees. The purpose of this approach is to maintain the subtle textures and crisp finish found in the wine. It was prepared for bottling in August 2024.
THE WINE
A lighter styled fiano with lifted aromas of lemon and spice. The citrus aromatics follow through on the palate, enhanced further with a softly textured mouth feel and some subtle nutty flavours on the finish. This wine is well suited to complement light, fresh white meat and seafood dishes. It can be enjoyed now, or allow the wine to continue to develop in the bottle for up to 7 years.

Product Reviews
A beautiful light and crisp wine, with refreshing citrus notes. Very smooth and easy to drink.
This bottled was shared with friends on a warm summer evening and was the perfect finishing touch to our seafood dinner.
A new personal favourite that I can't wait to drink again.
