Angove Wild Olive Organic McLaren Vale Fiano 2024: Tasting Notes

WINE STYLE → For the Curious Drinker

Fiano is one of those quietly brilliant whites: fragrant without being perfumey, textured without being heavy, and ridiculously good with food. The 2024 Wild Olive Fiano is sourced from Angove’s Warboys Vineyard in McLaren Vale and delivers stonefruit, melon and nectarine, lifted by a little exotic spice. The palate is bright, textural and finishes clean — moreish in that “wait, what is this grape?” way.

Winemaking
