About the Wine

A vigorous varietal​, it is low-yielding on our windy, high​-altitude mountain​ sites. We pick our Gruner at a more developed stage in ripening, on par with the ripeness level of our Chardonnay. This allows for a more complex and serious expression of the varietal. As is the case with all our wines, this Gruner is bone dry, meaning there is no residual sugar in the wine. It was fermented with native yeast, in neutral oak barrels, where it aged for 18 months before bottling.

Tasting Notes

Stone fruits, concentration of honeysuckle and anju pear, followed by bright lemon rind and white pepper. It has an undercurrent of green Jolly Rancher acidity and a medium body. With age, it will express even more stone fruit and a touch of nuttiness. In its youth, it is bright and refreshing.

Pairing Notes

Pairing classically paired with alpine cheeses and charcuterie, would also go amazingly well with spring peas, asparagus, sweet pea, and prosciutto risotto, and almost any seafood! Oh and also fantastic with almost any dish coming from Southeast Asia.
