Stunning Italian white from WA’s Ferguson Valley – fresh, textural and seriously food- friendly.
Arneis may be a rare sight in Australia, but this winery continues to champion the unusual (and deliver exceptional results). Grown in the pristine Ferguson Valley, this 2023 Arneis brings a fresh perspective to your glass, offering the texture and vibrancy that fans of Italian whites adore.
Often referred to as the “little rascal” in its native Piedmont due to its tricky growing nature, Arneis needs a dedicated hand in the vineyard. Luckily, this brand's commitment to quality, innovation, and regional expression makes them the perfect custodian for this distinctive variety. This Arneis is a wine of poise and purity, crafted in small batches to highlight the crisp acidity and lifted aromatics that define the best examples of the grape.
Perfect for warm days, adventurous palates, and dishes that demand a little zing, this wine is a unique slice of Ferguson Valley that’s bound to impress.
A lively white with bright fruit and mouth-watering freshness.
Colour: Pale straw with green highlights.
Nose: Aromas of nashi pear, white florals, and citrus blossom.
Palate: A zesty, medium-bodied white wine bursting with yellow stone fruits and lemon curd. The acidity is crunchy and clean, giving the wine lift and energy.
Food Pairing: Ideal with fresh sashimi, grilled prawns, or a citrus-dressed salad. Chill well and enjoy in its youth. Drink now to 2026.
93 Points | Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
“Beautifully fruited and inviting, the fragrant bouquet shows dark plum, sweet raspberry, rich floral, star anise and roasted nut aromas, followed by a succulent palate offering excellent weight and plump mouthfeel. Tannins are fine and grainy, making it sturdy and robust with a lengthy juicy finish.”
92 Points | Ken Gargett, Winepilot
“This ever-popular Spanish variety might be a long way from home, here we have an example from the Ferguson Valley in the West, but it is making the most of it. Delicious wine in a deep purple maroon. The aromas weave through chocolate notes, warm earth, cherries, herbs, leather and roasted meats. There is serious concentration and bright acidity here with quite saturated flavours. Very good length and a touch of exuberance throughout.”
