Tasting Notes
An extremely rare variety, this planting of Aranel is grown by a family in the Riverina who have one of the only vineyards in the world. Light and citrusy with floral hints, this refreshingly summery variety is perfect on its own.
A truly obscure white grape variety, created in france in 1961 by crossing Grenache Gris with Saint-Pierre Doré (also incredibly rare). It is hard to find in its native land in Languedoc and Provenance and is grown nowhere else apart from in the Riverina by Berton Vineyards - surpprising given the attractivness of the wine in produces. Berton Vineyards Aranel 2021 ia a delightful white wine with alluring citrus notes and a hint of florals on the bouquet. There are plenty of gorgeous flavours of pear and peaches on the vibrant, crisp palate along with a refreshing finish. Its is drop dead gorgeous. I am confident over time other winemakers in warm climates will plant Aranel and produce classy wines like this one.
