Unico Zelo Birdwood Fiano 2023 is a premium Adelaide Hills Fiano that has been elevated by oak aging to amplify its floral and mineral qualities with added spice and vanilla notes. The wine presents a balance of fruit, complexity, and racy acidity, delivering flavors of grapefruit pith, finger lime, green apple tang, and hints of vanilla from oak. It is texturally beautiful, fresh, and vibrant with a long finish marked by lime juice energy and bright acidity, making it a potential contender for Australia’s greatest Fiano. This release features a blend of 40% oaked and 60% stainless steel fermented Fiano, showcasing a lively and textured character typical of Unico Zelo’s style. The 2023 vintage is praised for its energy, finesse, and capacity to age well.​
