The Wine Library Reviews

Region: Southern Highlands, Australia

Wine: 2006 ‘Tertini and Knight’ Arneis, Reserve

Colour: White

Grape: 100% Arneis 

A deep yellow heading towards gold in colour. This Ozzy take on a classic Italian variety displays typical Arneis flavours of peach, pear and almond. A little bit of barrel fermentation adds and rounds off this wine with touches of vanilla and butter. The acidity is a touch on the low side, but all the components are well balanced, considering this was a very hot year. I was very surprised and really liked this one.

Food Matching: Excellent as an aperitif but also very good with hors d’oeuvres, fish, Asian cuisine, and salads.
