Jasper Hill Lo Stesso Fiano 2024

From estate grown and purchased fruit, Jasper Hill’s Lo Stesso fiano is one of the country’s best. White flowers, pawpaw, creamy and spicey aromatics. Displays all the versatility of fiano, with a lovely pumice-like texture, juicy white and yellow peach, rhubarb, fig, quince and cardamon. Beautifully balanced, a harmonised seam of acidity freshens, brightens and energises. Very long in the mouth. If this was another white varietal like chardonnay, it would be double the price. A fantastic bargain. Norris at Waters Wine Co

Fiano is taking Aussie winemakers by storm and here’s why. Jasper Hill, with fruit from Chalmers vineyard and their own plantings, takes the drinker on a journey into a world of savouriness, fleshy creaminess and scintillating fruit. Gently complex in dusty lemon, spiced pear, apple, melon, quince, almond and grilled nuts. Smoothly rounded, with bright acidity laying the groundwork for one mouth-watering finish. 95 points – Jeni Port, Halliday Wine Companion

Bright straw-yellow colour. Roast nectarine, nettle and fresia aromatics. Medium weighted with ripe yellow stone fruits, smoked honey and wattle notes. Wonderfully layered and textured, it carries very long with sweetness balanced by smoky nuances that intrigue. It would go well with subtle Middle Eastern spices. 93 points – Stuart Knox, The Real Review

A blend of 50% estate grown fruit and 50% purchased regional fruit, fermented in a combination of new French oak and stainless steel.  Pale yellow colour.  Subtle fruit aromas and a palate of pear, citrus and honey, finishing with waxy hazelnut and spice.  Over time this luscious wine develops quince and baked apple flavours with enough natural acid to balance the viscous, textured mouthfeel.  Ready to enjoy now. Screw-cap sealed, 13.5% alcohol.
