Tar & Roses Fiano 2025 13% 750ml

Tasting Notes

Appearance
Pale lemon.

Aroma
Very lifted nose of jasmin, freshly cut hay, dried herbs and grapefruit pith with hints of honey and some sublte nuttiness on the nose.

Palate
The palate is bright and refreshing, with a slightly beeswax texture. Vibrant acidity flows across the palate delivering flavours of winter citrus, pink grapefruit, minerality and spice.

Winemakers comments
The fruit comes from an immaculately maintained vineyard on the banks of Kangaroo Lake just outside of Swan Hill. A warm to hot area well suited to this variety that has its home in Campania, Italy. It is a thick-skinned variety that retains its natural acidity in these conditions therefore is well suited to Australia’s warming viticultural landscape.

Food matching
Freshly shucked oysters and plenty of them...

Vinification
The grapes were machine harvested, crushed and pressed through an air bag press in the protective presence of SO2. Cold tank fermentation was undertaken at between 12 – 14 degrees Celsius. Post ferment the wine was protein and cold stabilised and before being prepared for bottling. Bottled June 2025.
