Winemaking
Originating in the Languedoc region in the southwest of France, Aranel is a rare and unique varietal prized for small berries, excellent acid retention and disease resistance. Resultant wines produced tend to be vibrant and fruit forward, typically displaying florals, tropical fruit, and mouth-watering acid. Our Aranel is harvested from a single vineyard in the cool of the night and delivered to the winery where it was destemmed and chilled and to our bag press. The free run portion was clarified and fermented at a low temperature with an aromatic yeast that promotes varietal expression. Following fermentation, the parcel was aged sur lie for 12 weeks prior to blending, filtration, and bottling.

Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes
Pale straw in appearance, our Aranel displays fragrant aromas of
pineapple, guava and lime zest entwined with orange blossom and
gardenia notes.
The palate displays fresh and lively flavours of tropical fruit salad, yellow stone fruit, talc and alluring mouth-watering acids.
The journey to bring Aranel to Australia began in 1991, when viticulturist Eric Rossetto set out to
introduce this unique French variety to Australian soil. After years of navigating
customs delays and strict quarantine protocols, Eric’s perseverance was
rewarded in 1996, not with vines or crates, but with a single, solitary stick.
Today, Berton Vineyards remains the only winery in Australia, and one of only a handful globally, producing and
bottling Aranel as a finished wine.
