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.

A refreshing wine ready for a #Pure Michigan summer
A crisp, refreshing, dry light body wine that is a perfect compliment to a hot summer day! We love this wine as an apéritif prior to a meal or as an ideal 'cool down' after a day in the sun.

Good summer time wine
A good light wine but not too light. Off sweet and perfect with grilled shrimp! I would buy it again.

Too Light with Food
it was too simply too light, and didn't complement either a shrimp/tomatoes/rice/feta dish, or roasted oysters. Wouldn't buy again.

Unpretentious but pleasant
I found this to be unpretentious and not complex, but still with some crispness, mild acidity and pleasant to drink on a hot afternoon. Definite pineapple developing into some melon and a bit of minerality.

Excellent Product
I have purchased more than 5 cases of this wine. Besides being an incredible deal pricewise, it is a delectable quaff. Everyone I shared it with enjoyed it and several bought cases themselves after trying it. If I could rate it 6 stars I would.

Not for me
I realize I'm in the minority but...to each his own. I didn't like this wine. I've had other Gruner Veltliners and remembered them as being more crisp without the viscosity that this wine exhibited. It's just not a wine that I prefer.

Easy Drinking for Summer
This wine has been perfect for socially distanced happy hours on my porch--light and refreshing to help fend of the heat.
