2022 Bondar Fiano

Brilliant pale straw colour with distinct highlights of green around the edges and a watery hue. Aromas of pear and red apple are followed by a whiff of honeysuckle and lime. Fleshy pear and red apple flavours meld into lime and stony mineral characters on the back half. Finishes dry with crisp acidity and a brisk aftertaste.
Drink over the next year.

Other Reviews….
Perhaps the champion grape variety of McLaren Vale these days.
Very good. Tastes like Fiano and has an excellent stony/chalky texture. Aside that, green pear, apple, quince, lemon zest, a little spice, an almond richness, subtle smokiness. Fresh, flavoursome, a light quinine tang, and a long cool finish. It’s a terrific expression of this grape variety, combining richness with a tight citrine brightness. Lovely. Drink 2022-2026.
