ZERELLA LA GITA ARNEIS 2015

About the wine

‘La Gita’ refers to ‘the journey’ and celebrates Jim Zerella’s Italian ancestry and honours his forefathers.

Attractive flinty citrus blossom aromas, spicy pear and almond notes. A rich bodied and intriguing style where mouth feel and textural elements are key. This well- balanced wine finishes with freshness and zest.

Vineyard Information:

Fermented to dryness and matured on press and fermentation lees for four months prior to being bottled.
