Gemtree Luna Crescente Fiano cephalonia It was racked off leesFiano grows really well in the warmer reaches of the world which is why it's found a comfy home in McLaren Vale. Biodynamically farmed in this warm place lends itself to producing a wine medium in body with good density and character of fruit without losing vitality. A really tasty wine and one I recommend regularly as a good pairing with shellfish or white based Italian pasta dishes. Equally good on its own too. Chris L
