Sherrah Wines Fiano 2025 from McLaren Vale is a seriously exciting, sea‑spray kissed white that shows why Fiano has become the region’s darling – bright, textural and effortlessly drinkable. Sourced from two Lacey family vineyards in Tatachilla and Seaview, it blends coastal cool with limestone lift in a beautifully judged way. Sherrah Fiano 2025 follows on from the lauded 2024 with the same calm, confident winemaking and a touch more fruit intensity.

In the glass, Sherrah Fiano 2025 offers lifted aromas of lemon zest, golden and red apples, lime pith, white florals and a whisper of sea spray and oyster shell. The palate is dry, refreshing and quietly complex, showing citrus and white stone fruits with a subtly chewy, pithy edge, hints of pear and a nutty, saline twist from partial wild ferment in seasoned oak and four months on lees. Natural acidity (with no acid additions) gives it great drive and a long, moreish finish that keeps you reaching back for the glass.

This Fiano is built for food – think salt‑and‑pepper squid, grilled prawns, fish tacos or a lemony roast chook where its citrus, texture and savoury detail cut neatly through oil and salt. It also shines with soft cheeses, simple seafood pasta or an antipasto spread of olives, grilled veg and fresh mozzarella, making Sherrah Wines Fiano 2025 one of the most versatile whites you can put on the table.
