About Chalmers Fiano
Chalmers Fiano opens with an inviting bouquet of white peach, fennel frond, and toasted almond, reflecting the variety's Italian heritage transplanted into the sun-drenched soils of Heathcote, Victoria. On the palate, it delivers a textural, almost waxy richness balanced by bright citrus acidity, with notes of preserved lemon, chamomile, and a subtle honeyed depth. The finish is long and savoury, with a characteristic bitter almond grip that lingers beautifully.
