Nose
lemon verbena on a spring day and hints of lime zest.
Palate
Granny Smith apples teamed with peach and ripe green melon.
Growing Conditions
Vintage 2017 began with restorative rains that replenished soils, helped support vine growth and fortified
our vineyards through the Spring. We started harvest on Mount Veeder after Labor Day with yields
looking promising, as the sugars and acids in the grapes showed incredible balance. The rest of the
mountain fruit came off the vine quickly with the consistently warm weather
Aging
100% Stainless steel fermented, 4 months in neutral oak
Food Pairing
Wonderful as an aperitif, Grüner Veltliner sports acid that will stand well with steamed fish sauced with rich capers. Asian inspired dishes also come to mind, the spicier the better. A favorite salad is arugula and goat cheese with honeydew melon and tart apple slices.
