Three Ponds Fiano 2021

Citrus and white pepper aromas, there’s a whiff of white lily as well. Driven by lemony citrus flavours, there’s some cool greener flavours that work through nicely and the acidty is crunchy and lively. An edge of phenolic grip gives texture and savouriness.

Aaron Brasher – Real Review – 87/100

Very pale-yellow green in colour, primary aromatics on the nose include stone fruit & ginger. The palate is extremely clean and fresh with relatively high acidity mingling well with spicy citrus notes on the palate. This is a complex and lingering wine. In my view Mt Eyre produces the best Fiano in Australia.

Dr Ron Georgiou MW – Wine Oracle – 94/100.

The suite of whites here is good. While I’d Iike to see this half a degree riper, riding phenolics as much as freshness, there is ample personality. Bitter almond, fennel, orange blossom, grapefruit and a candied citrus twist. The finish is a bit tangy, but there is enough weight for balance and pleasure. A little oak in the mix has helped.

Ned Goodwin MW – Wine Companion 93/100

Mount Eyre Vineyards Three Ponds Hunter Valley Fiano 2021. Fiano is so mainstream now, no-one even jokes about Fionas any more. Faonis and foanis are still fair game however. Good characterful stuff without the burden of having to write home about it.
