GRUNER VELTLINER
In Stock
One of CGT’s most distinct cool-climate whites, this Grüner Veltliner draws on the Peninsula’s limestone and glacial soils to deliver sharp definition. Grown on a breezy southeast-facing slope, the 2021 vintage was picked early to preserve tension and drive.
Bright greenish-straw in color. The nose is herbaceous with green apple, lime, and white pepper. On the palate, a mouthwatering texture wraps around notes of ripe melon and citrus peel. The finish is long, crisp, and slightly spicy.
