Yvonne Lorkin (By the Glass Reviews) 4 Stars
Just 170 cases were made of this lusciously lemony, apple and apricot-laced, peach-packed Italian favourite made in Hawke’s Bay.
Guillaume Thomas has created a juicy, multi-layered white wine with a splash of
sweetness that’ll wake up even the most tired tastebuds with its nectarine and
honeysuckle intensity. Hints of white pepper and dandelions add an extra
dimension.
Candice Chow (Raymond Chan Reviews) 4 Stars
Bright, pale yellow, even colour throughout. The nose is lifted and bright with aromas of pear and stonefruit filling the glass, along with honeysuckle, herb and a hint of spice. Medium-bodied, off-dry to taste, aromas of pear and nectarine intertwined with rambutan, honeysuckle, subtle fennel and delicate spice. The wine is refreshing with a cleansing, crisp acid line. Subtle pear skin textured phenolics contribute to a dusty mouthfeel and linger with spice to a dry, crisp finish. This clean and refreshing Arneis possesses lush fruit on a textural palate and a crisp finish. Match with baked camembert and spicy fish tacos over the next 3 years. 12.5% alc. 18/20 pts (90 pts)
