Back to back brilliance for the Queen of Fiano, Corrina Wright is dancing on the balls of her feet with this variety. And if you know Corrina, she will probably be dancing on her 'carpets of Instagram' somewhere. The 2023 release was elite and here we go again with this 2024. A terrific wine to sit back and consider, lemon juice, canned pear, quince, sea spray and a little saltiness peel off layers of interest with ease. A sheet of minerality is draped across the top with a fine rhythm of creaminess tapping its foot to the beat. A lemony tang offers the parting gift and seduces you to come back for more. And why not? This is quite delicious.
