Hesketh Small Batch Fiano 2025 from Clare Valley is a bright, sun‑loving white that smells like summer in a glass – ripe pear, nectarine and orchard fruits lifted by jasmine and sweet florals, all sitting over a cool, stony line that keeps it feeling racy and refreshing. This Fiano feels immediately inviting yet quietly serious.

On the palate, Hesketh Small Batch Fiano 2025 is fine‑boned and elegant with zesty minerality, juicy stone fruits, nectarine and gentle spice rolling through a chalky, textural line. That faint phenolic grip and natural acidity make it refreshing but also incredibly food‑friendly, finishing long, dry and mouth‑watering.

This is a terrific summer all‑rounder with grilled prawns, salt‑and‑pepper squid, kingfish crudo or a classic fish and chips, where the citrus and minerality slice through the crunch. It is also cracking with light pasta, soft cheeses and Mediterranean salads – a versatile Clare Valley Fiano that overdelivers for the price.
