Description
A lively and elegant take on the rare Italian varietal, this sparkling Arneis is all about freshness and finesse. Crisp citrus and green apple notes lift from the glass, balanced by delicate florals and a subtle almond whisper. The fine bead carries a creamy texture across the palate, finishing bright and dry with a mineral edge. It’s a wine that feels celebratory yet quietly sophisticated - perfect for aperitivo moments, long lunches, or any occasion that calls for sparkle.

What The Critics Say
"Single-site estate vineyard. Carbonated and wild fermented in older French oak. A new take on arneis that marks the friendship between Nadja Wallington, winemaker, and Louella Matthews, superstar sommelier. White flowers and the pomelo and citrus notes of arneis come forth first and foremost, with a foamy bead. Some notes of almond, white mushroom and sea spray linger. Bone dry and chalky textured. This benefits from being served ice cold, with a dozen oysters to sit alongside it. Drink 2025-2028"

ABOUT THIS BRAND
ChaLou Wines
2025 HALLIDAY DARK HORSE WINERY WINNER! Steve and Nadja both grew up on family vineyards. Nadja in Canowindra (40 minutes down the hill from Orange) and Steve in Wauchope, not far from Port Macquarie. They first met when studying winemaking at Charles Sturt university together in 2008. Following their studies, they each went their separate ways working and traveling in wine both domestically and abroad. In 2014 they each came to orange for winemaking opportunities and from then on they have been inseparable. Steve started in Orange as a part of the winemaking team at Cumulus Wines before taking the reins of Nadja’s family winery “Wallington Wines” in 2017, overseeing the viticulture, winemaking, and wine sales. Nadja has spent the past 7 years winemaking for renowned local brand “Philip Shaw Wines”. In 2020 they purchased a vineyard in Orange and here they have developed their own band ChaLou Wines. They are passionate about what they do, making expressive delicious wine and are dedicated to working sustainably with the land. ChaLou was a 2022 finalist for the Young Gun of Wine Award.
