THE WINE

“I called my wine range ‘Rusty Mutt’ as I was born in the Year of The Metal Dog in Chinese Astrology. Metal Dog was then ‘Australianised’ to Rusty Mutt.”

“The Snapdragon Fiano was named after my mother-in-law, who was born the year of the Dragon in Chinese Astrology. The first vintage, 2024, also happens to be the year of the Dragon. The Snapdragon flower also alludes to the floral nature of Fiano.” – Scott Heidrich (Owner / Winemaker)

This wine's time has come to an end, but now I have a new range. Vin Sōl is my new label. Same hands, same love of McLaren Vale, and now a new chapter to the story.

The fastest growing McLaren Vale white variety.

Fiano

Fiano is thought to have originated in the Campagna region of Italy, Southeast of Naples. It also grows on the Island of Sicily further to the South, which has a climate not dissimilar to McLaren Vale. The strengths and suitability of Fiano to McLaren Vale have lead to its widespread planting throughout the region.

TASTING NOTES

“The colour is a lively golden straw with youthful green hues. Quite a complex and inviting blend of fruit and floral notes come forward. Displaying orange blossom. honeydew melon, guava and rose petals, moving more to fresh citrus and jasmine with time in the glass. Bright citrus flavours express themselves first, followed by melon and some herbaceous characters as it warms in the mouth. Very well defined acidity finishes the wine strongly, leaving a lingering piquant and savoury citrus zest flavour.”
