Olivers Taranga 2010 Fiano

McLaren Vale, SA, $24

The story: Oliver Taranga's winemaker Corrina Wright was one of the earliest embracers of this southern Italian variety, traditionally grown inland from Naples. It can show a fair bit of body while retaining a bite of acidity, which is exactly the style reached here.

The flavour: Blossom and white nuts like pine and almond, with some fullness and presence edged with citrus - lemon and orange - rinds for a quite savoury style of wine well suited to many lighter dishes.

Rating: ****
4 out of 5 stars - a cut above
Value: Good
Verdict: Chicken Caesar please
