Description

Feudo Arancio continues to deliver the goods with this aromatic, refreshingly crisp Grillo from the sun-drenched vineyards of Acate in Sicily’s southeast.

Harvested in mid-September and fermented cool to retain freshness, the wine spends five months on lees in stainless steel - adding texture without muting its vibrant character. The result is a bright, fruit-driven white with just enough depth to keep things interesting.

Tropical notes of mango and papaya mingle with jasmine and orange blossom on the nose, while the palate is light and zippy, with citrus, soft florals and a touch of stony minerality. Clean, dry and irresistibly drinkable.

A proper go-to for casual summer drinking, and top value to boot.

"A grape which is yet to gain a foothold in Australia... Delicious. Enjoy it over the next three to four years."
- Ken Gargett (Wine Pilot)

92 points - "A grape which is yet to gain a foothold in Australia, wines like this would suggest that it would be no surprise to see some significant interest in it in the near future. From Sicily, this is cracking value. Gleaming gold in colour, the nose offers exuberant aromatics with notes of orange rinds, nectarines, lemon curd, stone fruits, ripe peaches and apricots. Seamless in structure, there is a creamy texture, impressive balance and very good length. This is perhaps the best example of this grape I have seen from these guys. Delicious. Enjoy it over the next three to four years." - Ken Gargett (Wine Pilot)

    2023 Feudo Arancio Grillo

    it was inexpensive - deservedly so -it was hyped as something special -it was not but nevertheless ok for the price - generally you get what you pay for

One of our best sellers. This is a versatile, delicious and light-bodied white wine that will suit almost any occasion.

Colour: Deep straw yellow.
Nose: Distinctly tropical aromas of mango and papaya with hints of jasmine and white florals.
Palate: A wine that shows balanced citrus fruit and floral characters and delicate acidity. Light, aromatic, more-ish and very good with light seafood dishes and salads.
