Arietta "On the White Keys" - 2006
|
|
|
|
| Tasting Notes: |
This white Bordeaux-inspired blend is Arietta's first and only white wine, a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillion. The brilliance and pungent vibrancy of the Sauvignon Blanc has been preserved by fermentation of a substantial portion in stainless steel barrels. The Semillion was fermented in new Chateau oak barrels, giving the wine length and ageability. The result is a mouth watering wine of great length and polish with beeswax and floral qualities. |
