From Mudgee in New South Wales in Australia, this is a very good fiano. This Italian variety seems to suit Australian regions offering warm climate conditions. It provides an interesting chardonnay substitute and the style here is true to type. The wine has quite fragrant aromas of lemon blossom and almond. The palate is full bodied and saline, with the finish dry and viscous. Drink now. Review Rating: Very Good (★★★★, 90 points). Website: First Ridge Wines. Source: Sample. Tasted: September 2024.
