Unico Zelo Slate Farm Fiano 2024
Always the most aromatically inticing wine, a real extravert as soon as it’s released. From the Hill River vineyard, 300 metres above sea level, Continental climate, Ironstone schist clay over the typical slate of the Clare. Higher UV index + hot summers means more ripeness than the Riverland, bordering on tropical aromas however the diurnal temperature switch that is classic Clare Valley (meaning the night’s are cold vs the hot days) means a lot of acid is retained. Loud, delicious tropical tones balanced with that tight acid.
Sadly it’s from a very small portion of plantings of Fiano in the region along with lower yields than the other sites hence we can never have enough to meet the demand in trade.
6 hours of skin contact in the crusher after picking. Pressed then wild fermented in tank. No Malo. 6 months elevage on fine lees.
