2025 Orbis Wines Fiano

Mineral, textural Fiano with a fresh saline finish Estate-grown on an ancient fault line in McLaren Vale, Orbis’ Fiano is rooted in the free-draining soils of the Christies Beach Formation. The fruit was handpicked and pressed directly, then fermented in stainless steel with full malolactic fermentation. Maturation was divided between lees-stirred tank and seasoned French oak barriques with weekly bâtonnage, building gentle mid-palate weight without overt oak flavour. Citrus blossom, fresh pear and apple meet lemon curd and flinty mineral notes. The palate is textured yet precise, with savoury detail, vibrant freshness and a clean saline finish. Delicious now, but with the structure to develop over the next five to seven years. Why we love it Fresh and beautifully textural, with citrus, pear and subtle lees richness carried by a long, saline mineral line.
