Augustina Cellars 'Aurora Vineyard' Arneis

$29.00

Laurelwood District AVA > Willamette Valley > OR

Arneis, 2023

The wines of Diana Schultz were a huge hit at our Wine & Wigs event for Pride this year! Here we have her flagship white wine - Arneis from Aurora Vineyard in the Northern Willamette. Arneis is the most noble white variety from Italy’s Piedmont region, and very little of it is planted in Oregon, so this is a special treat. Sumptuous, dazzling, and to no one’s surprise - extremely food friendly.

The Story: Diana Marie Augustina Schultz lives for her passions, of which she has many. When trying to draw on the origin of her intrigue in the world of wine, she realizes how closely connected it is to food. She is a certified Spanish Wine Scholar, Italian Wine Scholar from the Wine Scholar Guild and WSET Level 3. Diana is a wine educator at The Wine & Spirit Archive in Portland. With the launch of Augustina Cellars in 2019, she began making her own wine specializing in Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese grape varietals.

Personality: A crisp white full of tropical aromatics, and dazzling vitality.

Harmony: Filipino anyone? Try puffed Hominy Ukoy - shrimp and spring vegetable fritters with coconut and toyomansi dipping sauce, or seared scallops with a citrus-infused butter sauce, garnished with toasted almonds could do the trick, how about roast chicken with fragrant herbs like thyme or rosemary?
