Ledson Vineyards Fiano 2024
$28, 12.5% alcohol, screwcap, McLaren Vale.
Fabulous drink. Fabulous flavour. This wine rings loud and clear with flavours and scents of tropical fruit, green apple, aromatic herbs and woodsmoke. It’s lively and flavoursome and zippy and all those things. One sip and you know that a) it’s good and b) you’re in for a ride. Price is very smart too. 92 points.
