Staff Pick Notes

Fun fact! The name of this grape, Gruner Veltliner can be translated in English language as "green wine of Veltin".Veltin was an area in the lower Alps during the 1600's that is now part of Valtellina, Italy! This a delicious Gruner from a 40 years old parcel. It's fermented spontaneously and aged on lees in stainless still tanks. The vineyards are on a steep slope not very far from the waters of the Danube river. The soil is sandy and granitic: it's an ideal environment for Gruner growing. On the nose you can notice mango, peach and citrus. On the palate you can enjoy yellow fruit , pear flavors with a long mineral finish supported by a gentle hint of sweetness. Full of flavors and, at the same time, fresh!
