2024 Lo Stesso Fiano

This small planting (less than 1 hectare) of Fiano on the Jasper Hill property is located very close to the winery at the southern end of Georgia’s Paddock. The wine is made by Emily and Georgia Roberts and in the early years was produced entirely from purchased fruit. The 2024 vintage is a 50/50 blend of estate grown and purchased fruit which was partially fermented in used oak and bottled relatively early (under stelvin) to retain freshness.
Brilliant pale straw colour with a greenish tint to the edges and watery hue. Pear and lime aromas mix with some green apple skin, Mediterranean herb and stony mineral notes. Mouth filling lime, pear and green apple flavours show plenty of flesh with infusions of fresh herbs and wet slate lying underneath. Excellent intensity and textural volume is counterpointed by crisp acidity. Finishes long with a lingering saline like element to it.
Drink over the next year.
Alc. 13.5%

Other Reviews….
The nose is expressive and citrus-driven, with aromas of orange blossoms, lime curd and talcum powder. The palate is medium-bodied with striking acidity and a generous mouthfeel, giving notes of macadamia nuts, grapefruit pith and fresh herbs. Very balanced and minerally. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
