Thick as Thieves "Aloof Alpaca" Arneis
2024 Aloof Alpaca Arneis - Yarra Valley
Absolute stunner of an Arneis from Syd Bradford. Brightly aromatic, savoury and textured, vibrant and rounded, this is so many good things at once. If you like white wines with texture and interest this is for you.
What is Arneis?
Arneis aka Nebbiolo Bianco is a white grape from Italy’s Piedmont region, affectionately known as the “little rascal” for its tricky nature in the vineyard. It produces beautifully aromatic wines with notes of pear, white peach and almond, often balanced by a soft texture and gentle minerality. Fresh yet rounded, Arneis offers an elegant alternative to Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio .
