We are proud to produce the first and only estate Grüner Veltliner in Sonoma County. What we love about Grüner Veltliner, especially those Austrian examples that reach the riper, or Smaragd classification, is how much depth and complexity they can achieve. This wine matches that profile. A kaleidoscope of aroma and flavor held in focus by a proper core of acidity, this wine evolves as you taste it. As expected from a Grüner, this is a very versatile food wine that can pair with both light and heavier cuisine. 

We are now entering our ninth vintage within the Grüner Veltliner universe, and we are very proud of this wine. We will be striving to produce this varietal’s California benchmark for years to come

86 | Golden hue. A distinctly waxy nose. The palate is full and open knit. Quite an intriguing style.

88 | Full yellow. Some development shows. Ripe peach, seepy pear, spiced applecake aromas, buttery later (malo?) lean and open knit but lacks intensity and generosity of fruit.

82 | Over ripe banana and bruised lemons. Weird melted butter, nutty character on the finish.Bitter and hot.

87 | Fresher is better, very mineral, open-knit and OX style, mealy, odd and synthetic finish.
