Charlotte Dalton Fred Fiano 2025 from Langhorne Creek is a vibrant, character‑packed white that feels like summer in a glass, made by Charlotte Dalton with her trademark touch of texture and charm. This Charlotte Dalton Fiano 2025 takes the Italian variety and gives it a distinctly South Australian accent that’s equal parts sunshine and sophistication.

In the glass you’re looking at layers of honey, hazelnut, pineapple and citrus blossom, all wrapped around a core of ripe stone fruit and zesty citrus. There’s a gentle nuttiness, a lick of lemon curd and a savoury, almost saline edge that keeps everything taut and refreshing, finishing with a nicely slippery texture that invites another sip.

On the table, this is a cracking match with grilled king prawns, salt‑and‑pepper squid, roast chicken with lemon and herbs, or a simple tomato, basil and buffalo mozzarella salad. It will also sing alongside richer Mediterranean dishes like seafood pasta, grilled octopus or roast pumpkin with feta and toasted nuts, where that texture and savoury detail really come into their own.
