Rowlee Single Vineyard Arneis 2023

Share

Piedmont’s Arneis white grape variety loves Australia’s cooler climates. Here’s another great example of its acclimatisation with keen acidity taking a starring role, shaking up the tastebuds and bringing one lively set of fruit flavours to the fore. Lemon, lime, green apple, green pear with flashes of tarragon and garden herbs. Less ripe than the previous release opens an opportunity for the acidity to take more of a charge presenting a lean, clean briskness. Acid heads will love it.
