WINEMAKING NOTES
Crisp and floral, this rich and full-bodied wine has been crafted from the Italian varietal, Arneis (pronounced ah-na-se). Spending a mere three months in barrel, this wine is waxy and aromatic with delightful characters of lemon, honey dew and an enticingly textural mouthfeel. Inspiration for this classically beautiful wine was taken from the works of Monet that are easily recognizable. As is this wine, to all Arneis enthusiasts alike.


TASTING NOTES
Wafts of wildflowers and green pear on the nose that lead into a linear, oily lining finish with apple strudel and vanilla.


★★★★★

Gained top points from Matthews, who thought it: “A different spin on chenin blanc with new oak vanilla bean notes on the nose. Surprisingly, works quite well on the palate. Glossy green apple, baked pastries and crème fraiche. Nice line and
length, with seamless acidity.” I loved its apple/stone fruit combination, apple-skin texture and length.

Score - 95

★★★★

Appealed to me with its positive, gooseberry and feijoa aromas. The palate’s round, with flavours turning more to stonefruits. It finishes with subtle sweetness and good ength. Honan noted, “A subtle lick of volatile acidity on the inhale. Saline sweetness on the palate, lemon and passionfruit. Moreishness. Great carry, compels another sip.
