Sapling Yard Fiori 2023
2023 Fiori
A new addition to our “Forrest” label of wines which celebrate interesting blends from Canberra and surrounding regions. This is an exciting aromatic field blend of Riesling (60%), Pinot Gris (30%) and Muscat (5%) off the Lake George vineyard, plus a dollop of Pinot blanc from our own vineyard in Braidwood.
“Fiori” translates to flowers - very thoughtfully named given the delicate floral aroma that leaps from the glass. White flowers intertwine with orchard fruits, zesty lime and a hint of ginger. Perfect to pair with south-east Asian inspired dishes
