What else can be said about this great, crisp, mineral-y Grüner Veltliner by the champs at Solminer. It handled a raclette dinner really well.

Notes of honey, melon and a light white pepper finish.

Californian Grüner. Lacks the acidity and freshness I would normally associate with the variety. But interesting nonetheless.

Bosc pear and a touch of honey flower on the nose, orange pith and white pepper on the palate. Plenty crisp, though not as racy as you might expect from GV if you're only familiar with Austrian renditions. Solminer's focus on natural winemaking allows their home vineyard's terroir to express itself beautifully.
