94pt, Great Value Fiano “Refreshing and engaging. Very good.”(Halliday) from a McLaren Vale veteran and certified Organic/Biodynamic too. Walter Clappis has been making wine in McLaren Vale for nearly 40 years and has won innumerable Trophies and Golds. With fruit sourced from Cooter Vineyard, Whites Valley in the Willunga foothills. "Golden apple and green peach, fennel frond, lemon pith, fresh almond, some white florals, a little flinty/earthy mineral note. This is fresh, zesty, picked at an ideal nexus of fruit depth and tension, the seam of fine grip adding another compelling dimension. Refreshing and engaging. Very good. 94JH Great Value.” (Marcus Ellis, Halliday Wine Companion).

Weemala is an Aboriginal word for 'good view' which is what you get when you go this vineyard this Pinot Gris has produced a lovely mandarin and pear nose with flavours of quince and lime.

De Bortoli Verdelho has lifted tropical fruit and honeysuckle on the nose and palate. Great quality bbq wine to enjoy with friends.

One of the hard part of winemaking process is blending. Each of the variety had to shine yet not overpowering others in the same blend. In particular this case, the Traminer and Riesling are both delicate and aromatic variety. De Bortoli has found that balance in this fruit driven medium dry white. Resulting with a wine that displays musk stick and mango on the nose and a clean finish.

Italian Heart. Australian Soul. Signor Vino is a product showcasing premium quality Italian Wines produced in Australia. With its light to medium body, Vermentino has a similar weight and profile to Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, and Riesling. Fresh jasmine, green apple and peaches provide a luscious bouquet of aromas. A lovely mouth-filling fruitiness with firm acidity provides a dry well rounded finish, perfect for any occassion where white wine beckons.

This Fiano is intensely flavoured and aromatic. The nose is of home grown apricots, lifted with hints of florals, citrus and nectarine. Firm acid frames the fruit giving presence and depth. Chalky minerality is underlain with a dash of honey and spice to finish. A beautiful bright and textural wine, with great length. This Fiano matches well with Italian dishes and seafood.

A Growers Touch pays homage to the farmers responsible for the Mino & Co. grapes, with their hands appearing on the front and back of the appropriate bottles.Fresh straw with green freshness. Alluring and complex aromas of gooseberry with spicy hints of lanolin and pine needle. Long, spice-driven expression with satiny umami, layers of white pear and gooseberry, creamy texture and a nutty finish.

Clean, crisp and dry but much more textural than the standard Fiano. A great example of careful skin contact displaying lemon pith and complex white tannins.

The Fiano comes from two vineyards in McLaren Vale grown by Ben Lacey. One in the Tatachilla sub region of southern McLaren Vale. Only a few kilometres from the sea and almost at sea level, it is a cool maritime influenced area of the Vale. Sandy loam over a shattered limestone base, scattered with ironstone fragments. This parcel was fermented in stainless steel, using a combination of natural and mixed culture yeasts. The second vineyard is in the Northern and high-altitude region of Seaview in McLaren Vale, with thin red loam over a solid limestone geology. The grapes were harvested with a selective harvester and tipped straight into an open fermenters as whole berries. Fermentation was allowed to occur naturally and then later over seeded with aromatic yeast. The ferment was allowed to tick away slowly for approx. 3 weeks. The final blend was 60% cold tank ferment, 40% full skin contact for three weeks.
