The Wine Front
Here we have 23 year old vines, from Kuitpo, grown at 350m ASL.
It’s a tight and kind of bony expression of Arneis, sort of Arneis by way of Riesling in a way, though it does carry a firm signature of the grape with pear, white flowers, raw almond and smattering of green herb and fennel. It has crunch, a ‘mineral’ character, green pear juiciness, maybe even a drizzle of lime/lemon, flinty texture, and a lively tonic finish of excellent length. Brisk. Invigorating.
