Tasting Notes from the Winery for Angove Wild Olive Organic Fiano 2021

VINEYARD

Sustainable organic management of our vineyards including under-vine mulching to enrich the soil and increase carbon content, manual removal of weeds, no synthetic herbicide and fungicide use and zero artificial inputs ensures vines with better balance, fruit concentration and overall vineyard biodiversity and health.

What a Vintage! Following all of the challenges 2020 threw at us it was satisfying to enter the 2021 season with our vineyards in near perfect condition and Mother Nature smiling down on us. Good winter rains set the vines up for the perfect start to the growing season with mild conditions continuing through from budburst to flowering. This allowed for good, even fruit set and low disease pressure. The relatively mild conditions continued through veraison and onto ripening with only a handful of days over 35 degrees Celsius. As the fruit ripened on the vine we knew we would be crafting the best wines of the decade (it is year 1 after all). Harvest began in late January and continued in and even, unhurried pace into late March with all varieties looking simply stunning.

Grapes for our Wild Olive Organic Fiano are sourced from the small patch at our Warboys Vineyard, located in the Seaview sub region of McLaren Vale within 6 kilometres of the cooling coast of Gulf St Vincent.

WINEMAKING

A moderate crop of certified organic Fiano was handpicked in the quiet, cool dawn hours and soft pressed as quickly as possible in our small batch winery. After cold settling some of the heavier solids, the still slightly cloudy juice was carefully racked to cooled fermentation tanks where it was slowly fermented to retain freshness and vibrancy. Pressings were fermented separately with a small percentage being added back into the final blend. This organically certified wine was bottled with no fining and only a light filtration.
