Little Rascal

2013 Santa Ynez Valley Arneis

Palmina Little Rascal is a delightful white wine made from the Arneis grape, hailing from the picturesque Santa Ynez Valley. This 2013 vintage showcases a light body that makes it incredibly approachable and refreshing. The acidity is bright and lively, perfectly balancing the wine's charming fruit intensity, where notes of pear and green apple dance on the palate. Its dryness is evident without being overpowering, allowing for a crisp finish that leaves you wanting more. This wine embodies a playful spirit, ideal for sipping on a sunny day or pairing with light seafood dishes, making it a delightful addition to any occasion.

Region:

Central Coast

California's Central Coast might be a bit quieter than Napa or Sonoma to the north, but this lesser-known region produces many world-class wines. Enjoying incredible terroir along its vast 280-mile stretch—from San Francisco Bay to Santa Barbara—Central Coast wines are increasingly in demand. Its position between the Pacific Coast Ranges and the Southern Coast Ranges is key to its quality, with many cool-climate AVAs offering elegant Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and Merlot. In the hotter parts of the Central Coast, away from the coastal fogs and cold mountain slopes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre are exceptional.
