The Black Sheep Fiano 2024

Tasting Notes:

Immediate florals; perfect white flowers of orange blossom.

Light thyme and honey notes mingle with lemongrass. The

palate is citrus crisp and apple flesh fresh.

Made from a blend of two blocks in the Clare Valley, with one

harvested a little later than the other to balance varietal

intensity with fruit weight. The high quality of the fruit allowed

a 12 hour soak on skins, pushing aromatics which we preserved

with a moderate temperature fermentation in tank.

The Hamilton family has roots that run deep, with a wine history

dating back over 185 years. Hugh Hamilton is the 5th generation

of a large wine dynasty in South Australia and is regarded as the

black sheep of the family. His daughter and 6th generation of the

family, Mary, continues the legacy, making them Australia’s

oldest winemaking family
