Berton Vineyard Winemaker's Reserve Fiano Riverina, 2019

The Winemaker’s Reserve wines are chosen by Berton’s winemaker James Ceccato as those that stand out for him each year. Despite the hot growing conditions in January 2019, Fiano, an Italian grape variety from the south, maintained a lovely crisp acidity. Picked early, it is light and refreshing with a low alcohol level of 11.5%. Aromas of fresh apples, pears and passionfruit are all present on the nose. The crisp dry palate is enhanced with more fresh apple flavours and a citrus pith and sour lemon finish.
