After WWII Arneis almost became extinct as it is notoriously difficult to grow, hence it has earned the nickname “Little Rascal”. Luckily a few viticulturists around the world have rediscovered this exceptional variety and are now producing stunning wines from this little rascal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e The 2026 Adelaide Hills vintage was a season of patience. A cool, wet spring delayed growth, before a warm, dry summer and gentle autumn allowed gradual ripening. The extended season retained natural acidity and aromatic lift while building flavour and structure, resulting in bright, balanced wines with purity, freshness and fine cool-climate detail.\u003c\/span\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Fresh stone fruits lead the nose, with Golden Delicious and crab apple adding a crisp apple character.
