Main & Cherry Fiano 2024 from the Adelaide Hills is a cracking modern white – bright, sun–kissed and textural, with all the freshness you want for summer drinking but enough interest to keep the wine nerds happy. This Main & Cherry Adelaide Hills Fiano 2024 shows exactly why the variety suits our South Australian climate so well.

In the glass, expect ripe stone fruit and citrus – think peach, lemon and grapefruit – wrapped around hints of pineapple, nashi pear and gentle florals, with a savoury twist of nutty, pithy grip through the mid–palate. It’s dry, medium–bodied and nicely layered, with lively acidity carrying those flavours through to a moreish, slightly saline finish that invites another sip.

On the table, Fiano is incredibly versatile: pour it with grilled prawns, salt–and–pepper squid, garlicky pipis or fish tacos, where its texture and acid handle both crunch and spice. It also works brilliantly with roast chicken, pesto pasta, grilled veg, burrata or soft cheeses, and can even stand up to mild Thai or Mediterranean dishes, making it an ideal house white for food–obsessed households.
