bright and vibrant. Fox Gordon has been named a five star winery by James Halliday
six years in a row.
Vineyard
Kersbrook is on northern end of the Adelaide Hills where the climate is warmer and
there is less rainfall than other areas of the Hills. The vineyard is situated at
approximately 480 metres above sea level and has some very high sloped areas, with
the Fiano planted on an eastern aspect. The vines are over 15 years old and are grown
in shallow soils, which have a lot of iron stone through the soil profile.
Winemaking
This wine was made with minimal intervention. Cool fermentation preserved the varietal
characters of Fiano. After it was pressed to tank it spent a week being worked on its
lees, adding texture and complexity. Fermentation lasted for seven days and then it
was bottled immediately to retain the freshness and purity of fruit.
Tasting Note
Complex stone fruit aromas are complemented by delicate undertones of floral and
Thai basil notes. On the palate there is a great depth of flavour, with layers of texture
and a long lasting floral and uplifting finish.
