2021 MITCHELTON VINE TO WINE ARINTO, NAGAMBIE LAKES
$38 / 2026
The more you see the Portuguese white grape, arinto, in Australia, the higher the excitement meter jumps. It’s making itself at home in Nagambie Lakes with its lifted green apple, lime zest, lemon and pretty floral aromatics. Shows great depth of fruit intensity for one so young, with lively spice and even livelier bright acidity. JP 12.5% alc.
What is special about this wine?
This is definitely an ‘alternative variety’ wine. It exhibits the freshness and aromatic zest of a riesling, but once in the mouth is a much more full-bodied and complex drink. The full-bodied and textural palate of the wine makes it a food wine and not just a quaffer.
