An outstanding dry white with texture, flavour and finish. There is immediate drinking pleasure here. Awarded a bronze medal among some illustrious company at the 2015 AAVWS in the fuller-bodied Fiano Class. Produced in Central Victoria, the 2015 Green Man Fiano is so good that to my tastes, it could easily have taken out another award in the other category for the young, fresh and aromatic Fianos of this world.
Clear light yellow to greenish hues in the glass.
Aromas of stone fruits, green apple and herbal grass. Some floral action going on too. Nicely balanced aromatics.
Fresh and rich palate that carries plenty of nectarine, lime and clove. The wine feels silky, has texture, mouthfeel and flavour.
The tangy lemon peel acidity is cleansing and refreshing with a dry herbal element that goes long. Lemon and almond crunch to finish.
The charm factor of this Italian variety is high. Recommended.
