Fifth Moon Gruner Veltliner
Our Fifth Moon Gruner Veltliner is a California twist on an old-world classic. All of the spice and freshness you would expect from a traditional Gruner, but with a juicer, riper profile that lets you know you are in California.
Tasting Notes
The grapes for this wine were picked at 19 brix, then fermented in stainless steel and Austrian oak to add structure, depth, and charm. In the glass, aromas of green apple, grapefruit, white pepper, and lime peel are balanced by wet-stone minerality. The palate expresses refreshing acidity, green fruit, nectarine, and lime blossoms. The wine is medium-bodied, with a viscous mouthfeel and a long finish.
Pairing
Wiener schnitzel, artichokes, raw oysters, clams, or anything fresh off the grill. Spicy foods like Thai green curry, plus fresh Vietnamese summer rolls and pho.
