🍷 Appearance
Very pale straw with light green hues, bright, youthful and crystal clear in the glass.

👃 Aromas
Bright and expressive, showing fresh melon, green apple and lime citrus with hints of candied orange, white florals and subtle warming spice. Delicate stone fruit notes add further complexity and freshness.

👅 Palate
Medium-bodied and beautifully textured, delivering ripe peach, pear and stone fruit flavours balanced by preserved lemon, citrus zest and gentle spice. A crisp acid line gives the wine freshness and drive while maintaining impressive generosity and drinkability.

🍈 Texture & Finish
Smooth and mouth-filling with a lovely textural richness typical of quality Fiano. The finish is long, fresh and vibrant with lingering citrus, stone fruit and subtle savoury spice notes.

🍇 Overall Style
A modern Clare Valley Fiano showing freshness, texture and Mediterranean charm. Rich enough to satisfy lovers of fuller white wines while still retaining crisp acidity, energy and excellent balance.

🍽️ Food Pairing
Perfect with arancini, grilled seafood, roast chicken, creamy pasta dishes, Asian-inspired cuisine and fresh mozzarella. Also excellent with antipasto platters and lighter Mediterranean-style meals.

🍷 BBD Verdict
A beautifully balanced and highly drinkable Clare Valley Fiano delivering vibrant fruit, lovely texture and excellent freshness. Modern, versatile and packed with character, this is another superb release from Pikes that overdelivers for flavour and value.
