A sneak peek of First Ridge’s 2024 Fiano. At time if writing the 2023 is still available via the website (and bottle image below is of that vintage). 30% put into 300 litre old oak for wild fermentation. Well regarded local James Manners is winemaker.
First Ridge, Fiano, Mudgee, 2024
Fragrant frangipane, almond blossom, buttery pastry, sourdough, lemon curd, brine, green melon and stone fruit. Rich and spiced with plenty of fleshy stone fruit support. Sharp acid cuts through a slippery mid palate. Pleasant and floral and ready for summer.
RRP: $30
