2023 The Hunt for Mrs Oliver Sparkling Fiano

$70.00 / bottle

SKU: 23HUNT

Who said Fiano couldn’t sparkle? Meet our limited edition 2023 The Hunt for Mrs Oliver Sparkling Fiano — a wine inspired by Marjorie Oliver (née Hunt), our much-loved family matriarch, and a woman who had an incredible knack for making everyone around her feel cared for.

Made from 100% Fiano using the Méthode Traditionnelle, this elegant sparkling spent more than 30 months ageing on lees, building layers of citrus, golden apple, toasted brioche and delicate savoury complexity. Fresh, fine and beautifully creamy, it finishes with bright citrus acidity and a long, mineral edge. The beautiful new label is filled with intricate illustrations and little details that tell Marjorie’s story — a fitting tribute to the woman behind the wine. Every time we pop a bottle, we celebrate everything she was.

History

Marjorie Oliver (nee Hunt) was our grandmother and family matriarch. This wine was inspired by her amazing ability to make us all feel so loved. She kept us fed, looked after us when sick, never forgot the hot water bottle, ironed our undies, mended and knitted us socks, collected flowers and feathers, and was forever writing us little notes cut out of the back of old envelopes with pinking shears. Every time we pop a bottle, we celebrate everything she was.

Grape Variety

100% Fiano

Wine & Vintage

The Hunt for Mrs Oliver 2023 is made via ‘Methode Traditionelle’, which means that it is bottle fermented, so that the bubbles are created in the bottle during a secondary fermentation. With more than 30 months aging on yeast lees, we hope you enjoy sharing with your friends as much as we did making it. Who said Fiano couldn’t sparkle?

Aroma

Lemongrass, ruby grapefruit and golden apple mingle with toasted pine nuts, baked pastry and a hint of lychee. Chalky minerality and a touch of sea spray add a lovely freshness.

Palate

Fine and elegant, with a delicate bead and a deliciously creamy texture. Lemon curd, lemon meringue and crisp apple mingle with toasted brioche, nutty Fiano character and a savoury lick of chèvre. Extended time on lees brings depth and complexity, while bright citrus acidity keeps everything fresh and beautifully balanced. Long, mineral and wonderfully moreish, this is Fiano dressed up in its party best.

Reviews

"From 2010 estate plantings; three years on lees. This bottle is numbered 0000; however, I can assure you it does exist. Oh, it’s racy, wearing the good time on lees on the nose, with nuttiness, sourdough, lemon-crisp biscuit and pastry scents, yet the cool year gives this a taser-like charge. That’s no impediment. In fact, it’s quite energising. Apple and lemon sorbet, ozone and citrus pith accent the bakery notes. It’s true for any good sparkling, but drink this in a (good) wineglass and don’t have it super chilled. I think this will be interesting with more time in bottle, too.” - 95 pts.
