2026 FIANO

Fresh, pure, dry and textural. One of the rising star white varieties of McLaren Vale. Made mostly in tank to preserve the aromatic and varietal freshness, a small proportion was fermented and aged in old French barrels to enhance the texture and complexity. 95 points, Halliday Wine Companion (2025 vintage) 95 points, Halliday Wine Companion (2024 vintage) " a wine of startling clarity and purity, effortless in the way it unfurls pear and lemon notes scented with orchard blossom, soft herbs and sea spray. The palate, too, has this unforced quality, with subtle, thoughtful detail – it’s a Bondar thing. There’s acid tension, texture, ultrafine savoury pithiness and a soaringly long trail of fresh flavour. For me, it’s their best yet." - Marcus Ellis
