First Ridge 2024 Fiano

With the weather starting to get warmer everyone needs a couple of bottles of a wine like this in the fridge. Fiano is a grape that originates from southern Italy and Sicily and it thrives in warmer regions of Australia. This one comes from Mudgee, a region with a long-established reputation for growing Italian varieties, but is grown at 600 metres, producing an amalgam of tropical fruit and toffee apple notes, along with some textural interest and brisk refreshment on the palate. A fun wine for serving well chilled. Pair with creamy pasta dishes, or perhaps moules marinieres. $30. www.firstridge.com.au.
