The 2023 Blonde Crow Fiano is a vibrant and textural white from Mount Barker in Western Australia’s Great Southern, showcasing freshness and modern, minimal-intervention style. The nose shows pear, citrus and stone fruit, layered with gentle florals, almond and a touch of spice.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a lively, slightly waxy texture and bright acidity. Orchard fruit and citrus are complemented by subtle savoury and nutty notes, leading to a clean, mouthwatering finish. The style highlights balance and drinkability, combining freshness with texture in a way that is typical of contemporary Australian Fiano.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a perfect “alternative white” that we position for customers looking to move beyond Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio. It’s ideal for those who enjoy textured, slightly savoury whites like Vermentino or Italian Fiano styles. Best enjoyed young and lightly chilled. Perfect with seafood, grilled vegetables, Mediterranean dishes or long lunch settings.
