This one is bone dry and driven by minerality. Petrichor, and wet stone dominates.

Pale yellow with flecks of green in the depths, light bodied, with a dry and mineral tinted nose, with hints of yellow apple, white florals, fresh cantaloupe and (according to Tiva) cardamom. Palate is light medium, dry, with apple, white stone fruit, straw, with a long mineral driven finish.

Unexpected treat to start off an exquisite tasting - Grüner Veltliner from the owner’s central coast vineyard. Classic, fresh, exciting.

Not as good as its Austrian counterparts--a little too many petroleum notes and very dry, without the best minerality--but still very enjoyable. Crisp, food friendly wine, and nice to see what California doors with this varietal.
