Adelina Arneis

What the Experts Say

"Really good Australian white wine. Really good. Texture, freshness, detail of perfume and palate on show. White almond, jasmine florals, green pear and lemony citrus characters rolling around. Nice, light pucker in the palate, minerally, saline things finishing the wine long and tingly. So easy to drink, but on reflection this is compelling for its detail too. Hell yeah." 94 points, Mike Bennie, The Winefront 

Our Notes

Excitingly unique Arneis grapes, that are usually only found in Italy, have received a local twist by Adelina.

Refreshing, delicious and engaging, it’s a testament to the great wine coming out of the cool-climate Adelaide Hills.

Sweet, fruity and ripe with fresh zing, there is a lovely, soft crispness to this white wine.

Winemakers Comments

Fruit was hand picked, whole-bunch pressed, split between 85% stainless inoculated fermentation and 15% neutral barrique indigenous fermentation. Once dry the wine was stabilised and bottled.

About the Winery

Adelina are a small vineyard and winery in the Springfarm sub-region of Clare, set amongst one of the most historically relevant winery and vineyards in Australia.

They run their farm with organic principles. The plantings of well established Shiraz, Grenache and Pedro Ximenez, some dating back to the turn of the 20th century and recent plantings, of Shiraz, Mataro and Malbec are NASAA certified.

They also work with a very small group of grape growers in Clare and the Adelaide Hills whom grow fruit for their non-estate wines. The winery is rustic in a sense of mod-cons and mechanisation, with the most elaborate piece of equipment being the coffee machine.
