Vineyard 28

With vines first planted in 1998, ’28’ is the colloquial name for the Port Lincoln Ringneck in WA, apparently due to their contact call – a whistled “twen-ty-eight” which can be heard across the south-west forests.

Description

Vineyard 28 Arneis 2023

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Arneis from Geographe, Australia.

Taste Profile: Pale yellow straw colour, with an aromatic bouquet. Intense and rich palate with nutty overtones. A wonderful full bodied wine

Winemaking Process: Fruit was crushed and pressed within 2 hours of harvest. The juice was cooled to 10 degrees C, settled and racked after 36 hours. Fermentation was performed at 13-15 degrees C, using a wild yeast from the vineyard. It was fermented to dryness within 21 days. After this the wine was left on lees for 3 months before the wine was racked. Further fining and cold stabilisation took place prior to bottling.

Lush & Tropical Whites

Succulent stonefruit with a citrus backbone characterises these wines. Typically, they have notes of tropical fruit, and come from warmer climates. A touch of oak during the winemaking process also helps to give some softness to the wine.

Expect notes of peach, apricot, pineapples, melon & a buttery texture
