Wine Details
Opens with lovely nose of sweet, ripe lemon blossom and white peach notes underpinned with apricot, melon and orange marmalade notes. Fleshy and round on entry, but amply structured around a pretty, schisty minerality that leads to a clean, pure, tangerine driven finish with a kiss of white pepper. An incredibly versatile wine, feel confident serving this as an aperitif on its own or pairing it wine with anything from cheese, roasted chicken, and pork to seafood and spicy Asian cuisine.

A crisp and dry white wine with origins in Austria, Gruner is known for its food pairing versatility and refreshing acidity. It's rarely planted outside of Austria, but California’s Clarksburg AVA features a microclimate and alluvial/riverbed soil structure perfect for growing this varietal – cool maritime breezes from the bay make for warm summer days and cool evenings usually about 10 degrees lower than Napa Valley just to the north. Produced by a family owned winery in Clarksburg dating back to the early 1900s, Lot 635 is fermented in stainless steel and aged on light lees for texture – a delicious Californian expression of an Austrian classic.

Perfectly Light Summer Sip
This is a lovely, light white that works well with summery dishes and appetizers. The price makes it exceptional when serving larger groups. I’m ordering again.

Every bit the Austrian grape!
I lived in Scotland for 35 years. It was cheaper and easier to get Gruner Veltliner. For me, this is as good a representation as I have ever tasted. Goes with anything.

Just not a big fan
We had it wit a light lunch, and it was just okay, not something that I would buy again.just seemed like a generic white wine.

So pleased
I have had at least 3 cases of this incredible wine. I take it to gatherings and let others enjoy it. Many have then bought some for themselves.
Everyone's reaction when they try this wine is positive. And the price? Crazy.

Wow!
Peachy nose hit me right out of the bottle. Sweet but not overpowering . Dry mouthfeel. Served it with spicy garlic shrimp. Well done.

Crisp and Very Satisfying
We’ve had this varietal a few times previously and enjoyed very much. Cameron’s choice is excellent, especially at this price. It is a thoroughly satisfying white, especially on a hot Summer day. Crisp, cold and refreshing. Pairs well with a good book on a Summer afternoon.

Nice value white
I had never had this varietal before so I wasn't sure what to expect. It is very light and a good refreshing white to enjoy cold on a hot afternoon at a great price.

Love at first pairing
At first I found this wine a bit underwhelming. A little to lite for my taste. Then I had it with some smoked salmon! Wow! Love at first pairing. It just came alive like a summer love!! This will definitely be on my summer list. I don't think I would care for it as much with heavier winter meals.
