There is no hiding it, Fiano is the hottest thing to hit McLaren Vale since the blazing Summer of 2008!
In just 10 years, the top white grape of Campania, Italy (think sunny Napoli) has become the darling of McLaren Vale, hailed by locals & visitors alike. It’s ability to stay fresh & bright in the face of Mediterranean warmth & wind means it is perfect for our rolling coastal hillscape.
McLaren Vale’s 2022 vintage will be recorded as one of the great years for the region, and though volume was down, flavours, colour and structure are all brilliant.
The region was in excellent balance, especially compared to Eastern Australia which suffered at the hands of La Niña with excessive rainfall & flooding.
After a predictably wet Winter, we progressed through a mild Spring with warm, sunny periods. At the end of November we had a cold snap with rain & winds gusting over 100km/hour, which removed some emerging vine flowers, reducing the available number of bunches.
Summer was excellent with warm, dry conditions & no 40°C days, and was followed by a perfect, warm Autumn, with harvesting starting a little later compared to recent years.
