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.

If you like low acidity
I am used to drinking Veltliners from Central Europe and was surprised by the low acidity of this one. Great, fragrant and earthy wine if you like less acidity but for me it was missing some brightness. Nevertheless a very enjoyable wine and good to pair with spicy and aromatic dishes.

Wonderful Wine
This is a wonderful Grüner Veltliner, shared with a friend that is more of a white wine lover than I am but I enjoyed it very much and would order again. A great value for a delicious wine.

Great Value
This is a very crisp clean tasting wine. I served it cold. My husband who isn't not wine drinker, really enjoyed this one so that is a home run in my books! I will definitely buy again!

Just a lovely wine
Had it this summer and it was a refreshing off-dry delight. Ordered more and just opened another bottle. Still a delightful difference from your sav blancs and chardonnays.

Thanksgiving
This was a hit at my family's Thanksgiving. Would recommend chilling (I did 30 min. in freezer) before serving.
At this price, a home run.

Somethings different
Similar to the Sauvignon block but more earthy. Very food friendly but we usually finish the bottle before dinner is ready. We have re-purchase this for the third time now.

Crisp, clean with subtle citrus and mineral taste and nice bouquet. Great on a hot day or when relaxing by a nice warm fire in the fireplace.

Crisp with a dry finish, great value. I would drink cold, it becomes sweeter as it warms up

Great value
I really enjoyed this wine. It's clean and crisp with a lovely aroma and nice minerality. At $10 a bottle I think it's an insane value!
