Chalmers

2012 Fiano, Chalmers

Heathcote, AustraliaVintage: 2012

The high acid, bold flavoured Campanian grape Fiano has really found it’s second home in Australia, especially in Heathcote where it regularly outshines the red grapes on the same site in a traditional red-wine growing region. Chalmers have a museum of Fiano wines dating back over a decade with even the older wines still singing. The 2012 Chalmers Fiano is no exception, melding delicate stone fruits and almond blossom with savoury lees contact characters and minerality, displaying texture and power in the mouth whilst retaining a fine, fresh finish.

Chalmers Fiano is whole bunch pressed and fermented on solids, 10% in old French oak barriques, 90% in stainless steel tanks without yeast addition. The temperature of fermentation is limited to 15 degrees. After fermentation is finished the wine rests on lees in tank for 6 – 9 months before being bottled.  The Fiano is then aged in bottle for a further 24 months before release allowing the wine to develop in richness and texture.

Description

The Chalmers family are well ahead of the curve when it comes to the recent trend of cultivating Mediterranean varietals in Australia. Not only were they were responsible for importing a selection of around 70 clones and varieties that were introduced to Australia in 2000, but they also established the Australian Alternative Varieties Wine Show in 1999. They continue to experiment using their nursery block at Merbein to produce super small-batch, handmade wine project #bucketwine which is exploring grassroots winemaking with no tools, additions or filtration. However, this family-run business has also found time to produce a range of wild ferment Italian varietals under their own name ‘Chalmers’. These wines are the result of years of experimentation and refinement, from terroir to barrique, Australian wines which proudly display their continental heritage.
