In love with this variety and this vineyard more than ever after the 2023 vintage. The 'Unico' Block in Polish Hill River and was absolutely SMASHED by botrytis this year. But the Fiano was in perfect nick. Drought hardy and disease-resistant. Exactly why we love the variety.
The wine itself is true to form the most popular of the Single Vineyard Fiano's we make. Bright pineapple, kiwi, custard apple, lime oil - got a bit of a yuzu vibe this year too! A little less intense on that tropical vibe this year thanks to a very cool vintage where this fruit didn't arrive at the winery until the end of April (!!!). But a ripper wine nonetheless.

This is the Unico Zelo "Desert Island" wine.
