The 2025 Miss Zilm Clare Valley Fiano is a vibrant and textural white wine crafted in a modern Australian style, showcasing the freshness and Mediterranean character of this emerging variety. The nose is bright and aromatic, revealing aromas of ripe pear, white peach and citrus blossom, complemented by hints of honeysuckle, fresh herbs and subtle almond notes.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with lively natural acidity and a silky, textural mouthfeel, delivering flavours of lemon zest, nectarine and crisp apple layered with delicate stone fruit, savoury herbs and a subtle nutty complexity. The finish is long, dry and refreshing, making it an exceptionally versatile wine for both casual enjoyment and food pairing.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic Fiano for customers looking to explore something beyond the traditional white varieties. Its vibrant fruit, refreshing acidity and savoury texture make it perfect for entertaining or pairing with food. Best served well chilled and enjoyed now or over the next 3–5 years. Ideal with grilled seafood, roast chicken, Mediterranean dishes, creamy pasta, antipasto or soft, creamy cheeses.
