Current condition

Bright acidity and fresh fruit character currently dominant

Fiano, as a Mediterranean white grape, exhibits bright acidity in youth which softens with age. Vintage 2023 from a warm Western Australia climate can be enjoyed young but gains complexity after 2-3 years, peaking around 3-6 years, making 2026-2029 optimal.

Food pairing

Seafood dishes such as grilled prawns, scallops, light creamy pasta, or salads with citrus vinaigrette complement its vibrant acidity.
