Bondar’s Fiano is sourced from Ben Lacey’s vineyard in Seaview (McLaren Vale). The vines are now almost 10 years old, grafted onto 25-year-old Chardonnay rootstocks established in shallow, dark Biscay clay over limestone. 

Picked at the end of February, after 16 hours skin contact, the 2022 was lightly whole-bunch pressed into old oak and stainless steel. Fermented naturally, the wines remained on lees (unsulphured) until June before being blended to create this small-batch release.

Reviews

"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."
