A really nice Arneis blend from GD Vajra. A little Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc thrown in for good measure, producing a richer finish. Decent QPR, found at Whole Foods.

Medium body with excellent balance. Zippy minerality with notes of pear, apricot and flowers.

Fun and fruity - lots of Apple and stone fruit on the nose, and a zingy acidic palate with bright grapefruit notes.

This is a juicy, vibrant, 80% Arneis blend aged in stainless steel for the fall and winter until it's spring release each year. Green pears and apricots fall into a fruit forward lemon zest palate and zippy acid. A nice quaffer on this 100+ degree afternoon.
