2014 Chalmers Fiano
Chalmers
Chalmers Fiano is whole bunch-pressed and wild fermented on fine solids in stainless steel tanks. The temperature of fermentation is limited to 15 degrees. After fermentation is finished the wine rests on lees in very old french oak barriques for 10 months before being bottled. The Fiano is then aged in bottle for at least a further 12 months before release allowing the wine to develop in richness and texture. The 2014 Fiano shows white flowers, fresh white stone fruits and flinty notes on the nose. Almond bitterness and savoury lees contact characters balance more stonefruit on the focused but generous, textured palate completed by a lingering, refreshing finish.

Striking tree blossom aromas then tangy, crisp acidity finishing a palate with tantalising notes of beeswax. Fiano in its element.

Straw-coloured. Taut, brooding style. Stonefruits and spice with a subtle cedary-creaminess. Honeysuckle. It gets your juices flowing as you put your thinking cap on. There’s a bit of mineral to this, but the fruit prevails. The dude abides. Perfectly pitched in all ways.

This delicious dry white has some nutty barrel-ferment notes and reamy lees overtones, the texture soft and fine but also rich. Good balance and drinkability.
