Jasper Hill 'Lo Stesso' Fiano 2025
‘Seriously swoon-worthy; Lo Stesso Fiano just keeps getting better and better with each release. The McNallys have worked with the grape for years and experience shows through in a complexity of flavours, textures and the kind of gentle savouriness that adds that extra layer of interest. Explores a world of intense citrus, of lemon balm, grapefruit pith and skin, lemon pastille and orange blossom aromatics, with pear, apple, quince and almond. So smooth; it roams fresh and long, aided by a subtle phenolic grip and tangy acid drive. So good on every level! Drink 2025-2030.’ 96 points, Jeni Port, Halliday Wine Companion
The Fiano is one of the most impressive varietal expressions in the country. Half is from the Chalmers vineyard plantings and half from estate fruit. The combination works remarkably well! The fruit is detailed yet subtle showing succulent orchard fruit with gentle crispness and an elongated finish. Mitch Milicich, FWC
