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.

Light, refreshing white that's true to varietal character
Gruner Veltliner can sometimes be a bit too sweet and cloying for me. Fortunately this affordable white tiptoes right down the line, remaining refreshing and light. Rather than sweetness what you get is a clean bright burst of fruit with light acidity. Not the "driest" white in the world, but great for Spring and Summer sipping.

I am really enjoying this wine, I am usually a red wine drinker but find this very easy to drink. The price is great-just ordered a case!

Crisp and Refreshing
Shared this Gruner Veltliner with some friends that just came back from Austria where they had a number of different Gruner Veltliner . They enjoyed this one as it was crisp and refreshing. They thought it was as good as some they had in Europe.

Crisp and light
I've never tried a Greuner Veltliner before and found it a pleasant wine. Easy drinking, pleasant aroma, crisp and light. I enjoyed it very much.

Good Wine, Different than the White Wines I'm Used To
This wine has a very mellow, pleasing flavor. I had never had this variety of wine before, and I found that it tasted much different than the more common white wines I'm used to, such as Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio.

Tried a Greuner Veltliner in Hungary and really liked it. Lucky to find it here with CH. Cheaper than a river cruise.

Refreshing
Has a light pleasant taste of pears and melons. Compares equally with a GV from Austria that I've been drinking.

Worth a try
Crisp and dry, this is a great introduction for anyone new to this varietal. Can convert the staunchest red drinkers. Best served slightly chilled.
