Reviews
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.

For this price this wine can be a good go to for friends and company that just pops in for a visit. Will keep some on hand for those white wine drinkers that love to drain my better whites and do not appreciate the wine.

A clean and versatile white wine. It goes well with light foods or can be enjoyed by itself on a nice summer day. Good value at this price. I will buy another case.

This a lovely rendition of an Austrian Gruner. It is a perfect summer sipping wine. We enjoy it with friends whether sitting by the ocean or poolside. We have referred it to a Gruner fan in Vermont and she loves it! Thanks so much!

It's not too sweet and the honey melon/cast iron finish begs for another sip. I am so glad I bought a case.....

Tastes as good as the Gruner I had during my three visits to Austria. It still is a wine with less food matches as other white wines but the value is solid.

Same grape, different soil leads to different wine. Not better, not worse, just different - and totally enjoyable. If summer lasted all year long, you wouldn't need anything but this.
