Galen Glen
Stone Cellar Grüner Veltliner
Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania, USA
Really quite good, considering I wasn't sure what to expect from PA Grüner. Rounder than most, but good acid, classic white pepper fruit, and very pleasant.

Another quality example of an Austrian varietal coming out of Galen Glen. Drinking from my Zwiesel 1872 glass; fitting for this delicate beast. They have this dialed in to almost perfection. Yellow apple, tangerine, and green pear are ushered in by chervil and white pepper. The palate is covered in honeyed lime, flint, saline, and shale slabs. Mouth feel holds true to citrus oil. It’s acidity literally cleans everything up and leaves your tongue tingling. Finish keeps on giving you more to contemplate. Terrior driven for sure. If you’re ever in the area, a must vineyard to visit.

Beautiful citrus and pepper notes on the nose. Tropical fruit and beautiful minerality on the pallet. Crisp acidity. This is a tremendous example of a domestic Gruner Veltliner. Congrats to Sarah Troxell!!
