2022 JUXTAPOSED Fiano - McLaren Vale SA
From the Lacey vineyard in the Sellicks Foothills subregion of McLaren Vale.
Our exploration into Fiano continues in 2022 with this wine from the Lacey vineyard. Barrel and tank fermented, with indigenous and cultured yeasts.
Wes Pearson’s Fiano is a reminder that this grape is one of the Mediterranean varieties that can really do with a bit of work in the winery. Barrel ferments, tank ferments here, with both wild and inoculated yeasts too – a winemaker’s smorgasbord! There’s a whole fruit bowl of flavour in the Juxtaposed Fiano 2022, with lemon and tangerine honeysuckle juiciness with great tang and intensity. A citrus surprise! Full enough, with enough acidity to be fresh and the intensity to convert. This might be the best Juxtaposed Fiano yet.
