Unico Zelo Birdwood Fiano 2022

The inauragal release of a wine that has been in the design since Unico Zelo first put down roots in Gumeracha in the Northern section of the Adelaide Hills. Put roots down is a perfect adidage as they grafted over to Fiano in the neighbouring village of Birdwood in 2015. Their dream to produce the best Fiano possible. The site is 400 meters above sea level, East facing, Alluvial Quartz-Shot Clay over Limestone.

Destemmed, left on skins overnight, pressed into stainless steel to complete ferment, racked and then split between two new French 500L puncheons (Saury) and stainless steel, where it rested on fine lees for 12 months. Racked, and blended and then into stainless steel for a further 9 months rest.

Final blend is 40% oaked fiano to 60% stainless steel.
