2023 Cosa Nostra Arneis

 Fruit was hand-picked from a single vineyard in the Yarra Valley.

Grapes were whole bunch pressed.  No press cuts were made as the pressings contain lovely phenolics and flavours helping to create a textural style.

Cloudy juice then went into old barrels for fermentation, utilising a mixture of wild and aromatic yeasts. Post ferment the wine stayed in oak on full solids for 4 months.

No fining agents used. Single filtration prior to bottling.

"90 POINTS // Very pale lemon hue. Fragrant nose of lime zest, pear skin and broken seashells. Refreshing and bright on the palate, pome fruits with citrus and bakery notes show along the length. A fine crunch of acidity ensures it carries long and finishes with a saline minerality that will suit light seafood matches"
