Aroma
Riotously intense with waves of lively beeswax perfume, this extraordinary Fiano shows powerful aromatics and lingering intensity. Specific Campanian clones grown on poor soils at Rockwood Vineyard deliver candied honey complexity through the mid-palate, finishing intense, dry and long.

Palate
This ancient variety, known to the Romans as Apiana for its ability to attract bees, reveals layers of compelling complexity in our Clare Valley expression. The restrictive soils force the vines to dig deep, concentrating flavors and creating remarkable textural weight. Each sip unfolds with pristine clarity - white peach and quince meld with mineral undertones, while the signature beeswax character builds to an almost ethereal finish. The wine's natural acidity provides perfect balance, allowing the fruit's inherent power to shine through without overwhelming the palate. Ripe pear, honey, bliss.

94 Points
Aromas of lemon pith, fennel, pears and wet stones. The palate is medium-bodied with a supple texture and bright acidity, giving flavors of limes, orange blossoms and a touch of almonds. Nicely weighted and balanced, with a mineral finish. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
