Upper Tintara Vineyard Fiano Blewitt Springs 2024
$28.00
This Fiano comes from our Upper Tintara Vineyard in Blewitt Springs. My father Bob and I planted these vines in 2011 after deciding that Fiano would be well suited to not only this particular location, but to McLaren Vale’s warm, dry mediterranean climate.
Picked in the early morning of March 2nd and transported to our winery. The grapes were pressed and the juice pumped into stainless steel and old French oak. The juice was then cold settled before being inoculated with a cultured yeast and fermented at cool temperatures for just under a month. At sugar dryness the tank component had its yeast lees stirred weekly, whilst the oak component went through spontaneous malo-lactic and received fortnightly batonnage. Total maturation of 5 months prior to filtering and bottling.
