SOUMAH Yarra Valley Nebbiolo Bianco 2025

Share

Okay, you had me at Nebbiolo Bianco. Is this a new variety? Turns out it is a synonym for Arneis but you still had me, I am a sucker for Arneis. Love the racy, bright acidity that gets the tastebuds going. It adds up to perfect solo drinking or fits in well with a platter of shellfish. Apple, lemon, ruby grapefruit, light spice and spring flowers. There is plenty to like in this crisp, lightly textural wine as it builds and moves across the palate. Most inviting.
