Juxtaposed Bigger Boat Fiano 2018
McLaren Vale, South Australia, AustraliaWinemaker Wes Pearson came up with an unusual technique to make this delicious fiano, sourced from McLaren Vale's Lacey Vineyard and ten year old vines. After fermented in barrel and tank, this was racked into one big tank and then sent cold settled at 0C for approximately four months, untouched. During this phase the lees was kept in touch with the wine, though the affects are subtle, and well integrated. The lengthy cold time entirely stabilized the crystal clear wine as well. After this was brought back to temp it was racked, minimal sulphur added, and then bottled. Lovely gentle tropical fruit throughout this juicy wine with pineapple rind, white grapefruit pith, and an herbal medicinal edge. Chiselled, almost pixellated acidity works very well to carry the texture from the lees. So juicy on the mid palate, with great length on the rear. 140 cases. The wine's name is a clue for the label, a painting from Jaws, when Chief Martin Brody sees the massive shark for the 1st time.Tasted: 27 August 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| Australia | $26.00 | 750ml | Australia |
