Eldorado Road 'Dreamfields' Fiano 2025
- ABOUT THE WINE: "Fiano is a variety we believe has great potential in Australia and particularly in Victoria’s north-east, so much so that in 2022 we planted it at our home vineyard in Eldorado. After many years of patient waiting, this 2025 vintage marks the first Dreamfields release made predominantly from fruit off our home vineyard at Eldorado planted on rare decomposed red granite buckshot soil. Our fruit is complemented by smaller parcels from a Melvilles Vineyard in Rutherglen and the Yurilla Vineyard situated in the King Valley. The grapes are gently pressed to stainless steel for a natural cold settling, then racked after 48 hours to seasoned French oak. 100% fermented by indigenous wild yeast. The wine is then aged a further five months in oak on full lees with bimonthly stirring. The resultant wine is generous in flavour and texture yet supported by a clean natural line of acidity and vibrant aromatics. Think peach, white flowers and grapefruit. Everything is in harmony and balance, displaying a Fiano that looks ‘at home’ in spite of being on the other side of the globe to its Italian origins. Filtered gently, vegan friendly, hand bottled on site October 2025." Eldorado Road

ABOUT THE PRODUCER: "Eldorado is often used as a metaphor for the “Holy Grail” that one might spend one’s life seeking. It could represent true love, heaven, happiness or success. It is used sometimes as a figure of speech to represent something much sought after that may never exist or at least may not ever be found. Eldorado is located in the Beechworth foothills equidistant between Beechworth and Wangaratta. Our tiny home vineyards are located on Eldorado Road and only several kilometers from the quaint hamlet of Eldorado. The property was selected and purchased principally because it is located on a seam of free draining red decomposed granite loaded with granite buckshot, flanked by granite hills and fed by the gentle flowing Reedy Creek which weaves its way through our property on its journey to the Ovens River. Paul Dahlenburg (Bear) and Lauretta Schulz (Laurie) have spent a career making wine and tending to the vineyards of others, in 2010 and Eldorado Road was born and just like we had our own label."
