Wow, this 2017 Fiano from Berton Vineyard in New South Wales is not what I was expecting. Although i have been told that Fiano can be aged, its usually drunk young . It’s 8 years old yet still fresh and zingy. Loads of citrus flavours, pineapple, lemon, lime with a solid petroleum flavour underlining it all. It got a bronze medal at the 2020 Decanter World Wine Awards (89 points). 6 years after that marking it seems very stingy. We loved it, great grown ups white wine.
