Rutherglen Estates Arneis
Winemaker Marc Scalzo prizes texture in white wines, and works like a demon to build mouth feel without sacrificing varietal integrity and freshness. He picks arneis the moment the flavour kicks in, while retaining tangy lemon-like acidity. A lovely lees-accented texture is built through plenty of lees stirring. Lively lemon zest, pink grapefruit and fresh pear fruit lingers on the finish. Buy direct.
