Cloud Cuckoo Land Fiano Zibibbo

Riverland
Cloud Cuckoo Land is an imaginary state of absurd over optimism – something that we at Wild & Wilder are often accused of. Indeed, not so long ago, if we’d said that we wanted to make high quality, low intervention wines made from Mediterranean varieties in the Riverland, Cloud Cuckoo land is exactly where people would have said that we lived! But, we believe that anything is possible if you don’t see the obstacles, you challenge the “received wisdom” and resist the naysayers. Cloud Cuckoo Land is for everyone who feels the same.

Tasting 
An enticing Mediterranean blend of Fiano and Zibibbo (Muscat). 

A vibrant, textural white with hints of almond blossom, quince and ripe pear. Tangy, almost exotic but pithy and delicious.

80% Fiano, 20% Zibibbo (Muscat)

Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

'...there’s lots of pleasure here. Drink it this summer.'

'Such fun, and lovely to drink. Beautifully turned out.'

  • 91 points - The Wine Front

'45%/41%/14% greco/fiano/zibbibo constitute an idiosyncratic and playful blend, drawing on deep Mediterranean roots. Sourced from the Riverland, a bastion of industrial wine, this is exemplary, versatile and delicious. Grape spice, orange blossom, citrus and pistachio.'
