2019 Grüner Veltliner

Grüner Veltliner accounts for approximately one-third of all the wine grapes grown in Austria and is widely planted in the Czech Republic and Slovakia as well, but just under 100 acres are estimated to be planted in California. We planted our first Grüner vines in 2010 because, truthfully, our winemaking team wanted it. See, they’re wine geeks. And wine geeks love Grüner because it has a wonderful spicy minerality combined with pop rock acidity, it’s über aromatic, and it’s a great wine to pair with food. So their wish was granted (they are a hard team to say ‘no’ to) and 2019 marks our seventh vintage of this delicious varietal. Loads of citrus, green apple, pear and tropical fruit define the wine, with a delicate hint of ginger and honey that lead into a clean, crisp finish.
