TASTING NOTES FOR Mr Mick Fiano Clare Valley South Australia 2024

🍷 Appearance
Pale straw with a light golden tint. Bright and inviting, showing good clarity and a slightly richer hue typical of the variety.

👃 Aromas
Expressive and layered, with passionfruit pulp, ripe citrus and stone fruits leading the nose. Subtle notes of fresh sage and herbs add complexity and a distinctive varietal lift.

👅 Palate
Generous and flavourful, delivering ripe citrus, peach and tropical fruit with excellent concentration. A balanced line of acidity keeps the wine fresh, while the fruit weight gives it a broader, more textural feel than many whites.

🍈 Texture & Finish
Medium-bodied with a soft, rounded texture and gentle richness. The finish is clean yet persistent, showing lingering citrus, stone fruit and a subtle savoury herbal edge.

🍇 Overall Style
A modern Australian Fiano—aromatic, textural and versatile. Combines bright fruit intensity with a fuller palate weight, making it appealing to both white and light red wine drinkers.

🍽️ Food Pairing
Perfect with grilled seafood, calamari, roast chicken, pork dishes or Mediterranean cuisine. Also excellent with creamy pasta and herb-driven dishes.

🥂 BBD Verdict
A seriously impressive and versatile Clare Valley Fiano—packed with flavour, texture and drinkability.
A standout for mixed dozens when you want something a little different that still over-delivers.

Cheers
