Falanghina
Falanghina is a fine, aromatic, late-ripening white from Campania in the southwest coastal region of Italy, we think well suited to our environment, with a lot of personality. This is our second crop of Falanghina, the first time with a label on it, after a tiny trial batch was made in 2024. We hope you enjoy this exciting new white variety from us.
Yellow peach, zesty lemon acidity, pear tart, macadamia, sea spray. Classy and lithe palate, fine body, lingering freshness and saline, dive in!
Reviews of the 2025 Falanghina
90 points, Marcus Ellis, Halliday Wine Companion, December 2025:
The first commercial release of the grape for H&Y, and one of the earlier ones for the region. That’s not surprising, as climate-apt alternative varieties are a linchpin here. And '25 was a year for such things, with the heat turned up. That doesn’t show, with this strutting its cool and crisp charm with confidence. Lime pith, lemon balm, tart pink apple, green peach and a touch of almond. It’s lightweight, with a tangy, snappy finish. Linguine alle vongole, please.

It’s exciting to see Falanghina taking flight in McLaren Vale and to see what
becomes of the fruit in different hands. Here, there are yellow flowers, burnt peach and grated ginger. A whiff of honeycomb and the intensity of jonquil in full bloom. Acidity has been celebrated and kept fresh with the slight candied lime and apple unfurling across the mid palate. A miniscule amount produced, this wine sells out fast, a promising start for the hard to pronounce but delicious to drink variety. Drink now-2028.
