Fred Fiano - a heartfelt tribute to my beloved Dad, the ever-busy bee. Fiano, often hailed as the wine of the bees, draws these diligent worker insects to its flowers and grapes

The grapes flourish under the care of Brad Case, whose fervor for cultivating the perfect varietals in ideal locales drives his relentless pursuit of excellence in Langhorne Creek.

I pressed the grapes directly into French barriques, among which 10% are brand new by French cooper Chassin - a touch that adds a further dimension to the wine.

This wine was fermented with wild yeasts within these barrels, remaining on full solids until bottling. A minimal additionof sulfur was added just prior to bottling, with no other adds made. The wine underwent full malolactic fermentation.
