Winemaker's Selection Barossa Valley Fiano 2022
Overview
Overview
The Winemaker's Selection was introduced to allow experimentation and special parcels of fruit to remain separate so that they can show their true colours. Senior winemaker Alex MacKenzie believes Fiano is an emerging Barossa varietal well suited to the region, demonstrating an ability to make complex aromatic and textured wines.
Lively fresh lemon and citrus blossom are interwoven with varietal lemongrass, almond kernel and fig. A textural delight and the perfect complement to flavoursome foods.

Barossa Valley, South Australia
Just one hour’s drive from South Australia’s capital, Adelaide, lies its gourmet capital (and wine Mecca), Barossa. One of the country’s most beautiful and historic wine regions, Barossa is a magnet for lovers of fine food and wine. Its classic Mediterranean climate, and free-draining red brown soils, makes the region ideal for growing grapes. Barossa produces excellent Shiraz, Cabernet, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Riesling and Semillon.
