First Drop "The White One" 52% Arneis 48% Chardonnay, Adelaide Hills, Australia



 


First Drop "The White One", 52% Arneis and 48% Chardonnay, Adelaide Hills, Australia
Deep, slightly smoky green apples and hints of almonds. Deliciously different.

Arneis is the white grape of Italy's Piedmont region. It produces a lightly styled white wine with gentle citrus edged orchard fruits that recalls pear and apricot and a slightly bitter floral note that can resemble almonds on the palate.
Depending on where it's grown and how it's fermented, Chardonnay can taste semi-sweet or sour, heady or light. Typical flavors are apple, tangerine, lemon, lime, melon, and oak.
