The Abstracts by Penny's Hill is a new collection of wines inspired by McLaren Vale’s Mediterranean climate. This Fiano makes its debut and possesses a creamy presence that is determined to swoon.
On lees for four weeks with some pressings included in the final blend, a pinchy acidity takes the gloss off where this could be. Yellow grapefruit, lemon curd and lemon peel with a pear flesh cameo, a sherbety tang cuts in on close. I went back to this a few times, and despite my attempts, it kept coming back firm and tense. If anything, it just needs to calm down a little.
Drink now.
