Arneis
Filter
Arneis is a pale colored grape that hails from northwest Italy, or Piedmont region. It can also be found in California, Australia and New Zealand. Arneis means “the little rascal” in Piedmont, where the grape first originated. The name stemmed from the problematic susceptibilities during the growth and harvest of the grape. The yield for the grape can be low and it strains to produce the proper amount of acidity. It is quite vulnerable to powdery yellow mildew. It also has a tendency to become over-ripe if harvested after September. Belonging to the DOCG Roero Arneis in Italy, and is most commonly found in the hills of Roero and northwest of Alba. It was once only used in combination with the Nebbiolo grape. Because of this, it has received nicknames such as “White Barolo” and even “Nebbiolo Bianco”. Arneis, however, does not come from the same grape family as the Nebbiolo. It was used to mitigate the harshness of the Nebbiolo (to soften the tannins) as well as offer a better nose on the finished product. Arneis presents elevated aromas of white flowers, almond, and pears, and displays medium to full body, apple, pear, and apricot flavors on the palate. Because of these light fruit flavors and delicate aromas, it has often been used to produce sparkling wine or dry, late harvest passito.

Clos des Cazaux Gigondas Le Souiras is 100% Grenache.
“Le Souiras” is the terroir located at the very South end of the Gigondas appellation. Here, in the midst of the Dentelles de Montmirail, an extraordinary calcareous massif, we planted grapevines on slopes surrounded by Mediterranean vegetation.
We are situated at an altitude of 250 meters, where the nights are cooler. The terroir is stony with a layer of grey and blue clay under the topsoil. The slopes face West and are protected from the strong summer sun by the Montmirail hill. Due to this ideal microclimate, our old Grenache grapevines contain all the complexity and balance of this sunny terroir.
Color : Dark intense ruby color.
Bouquet : Notes of little red fruits, white pepper, caramel and juniper.
Palate : The first impression is arresting and generally qualified as round, complex and dense.
The aromas of black cherry, mocha and white pepper are very intense. The palate is powerful, elegant and velvety.
The finish is long, with very silky tannins and a very slight bitterness that gives this exceptional Grenache an impression of freshness.
Review:
"A brilliant wine that has so much to love, the 2022 Gigondas Le Souiras is all Grenache that was brought up in barrels. It exhibits a vivid ruby hue as well as classic kirsch and blackberry fruit intermixed with peppery garrigue, spice, and ample Provençal nuances. This medium-bodied, fresh, focused 2022 has a beautiful sense of elegance, fine tannins, and the balance to evolve gracefully over the coming 10-12 years."
