Konpira Maru's mission statement is simple: 'Make mid-week wines great again'. And what better way to fulfil that mission than by heading to the hills of King Valley to bust out an Arneis. It's an Italian grape dating back to the 15th century, was almost extinct in the 70s, before experiencing a true renaissance, which thankfully included being shipped from Piedmont to Australia's very own slice of Italy in Victoria's High Country.
Jump in for a crisp white with whiffs of honey blossom & touches of your gran's stewed apple.
