Hesketh - Adelaide Hills Small Batch Fiano 2025

With its elevated vineyards, diverse soils, warm summer days and crisp, cool nights, the Adelaide Hills provides idyllic growing conditions for Fiano. The resulting wine is balanced, textural and refreshing with natural acidity.

Fiano was harvested from the Hill-Smith Vineyard in Woodside in the cool of night then gently pressed leaving two core juice components. The free run received a pure, low turbidity ferment in stainless steel to deliver perfumed and vibrant notes. The pressings were barrel fermented and remained on lees in oak for seven months to add complexity as well as texture and finesse. Partial malolactic fermentation offers further palate weight and structure. Ahead of bottling, the various components were subject to a final blending exercise to achieve the ultimate balance in the finished wine.
