2022 Lino Ramble Dot to Dot Arinto

Nashi pear, white peach and citrus blossom. Good length and beautiful natural acid. The Arinto grape from Portugal Is noted for its ability to thrive in Hot conditions and is one of the few white varieties that can maintain its natural acidity during long hot summers resulting in beautifully fresh and vibrant wines.

The regions milder summer and warm autumn resulted in a
gentle and slow ripening period, producing outstanding fruit. We
didn’t have one day above 40C and only a handful above 35C.
Fantastic conditions for ripening all wine-grape varieties, less so
for a knock-off swim and cleansing ale at Port Willunga beach.
Yields were generally lower compared to 2021 but flavour
intensity is exceptional with amazing levels of natural acidity for
both red and white wines. La Nina influenced vintage in much of
eastern states, but McLaren ale had its mildest weather
conditions in recent memory.
