Saturday, April 13, 2024 - Arnot-Roberts Spring 2024 open house: pale straw and medium body. very reticent nose with seashells (i wanted to put my ear to glass to check if i could hear the ocean while waiting for the nose to open up)… and then subtle whiffs of lemon, white blossoms and sea-spray. more expressive in mouth, the fresh lemon vein is prominent from entry to finish, and around it dance some notes of stonefruit and hazelnut. the saline accent carries thru the moderately long finish.

dry and smooth textured, it is very refreshing and just about accessible.

well-carried 13.5% AbV; all Beneventana clone from two sites (70% from Las Cimas and 30% from Handel-Denier); whole cluster fermented and malo in stainless, then aged in neutral French oak for ten months.
