Tasting Notes
Our first ever Grüner features subtle aromas of pale golden honey, with a dusting of saffron wrapped in the richness of whipped light cream.  The palate is delicate and tantalizing with hints of pear and honeydew, watermelon rind and early wild strawberries and closes with notes of clovers and slate.  Bright and balanced acidity makes this Grüner a fresh, quenching addition to our portfolio.

Vintage Notes
Winter of 2021 gave us some surprisingly warm days and just enough snow to be protective when the temperatures dipped low.  Early spring was lovely - sunny and mostly dry with undisturbed flowering and fruit set.  Beginning in June, the summer rains arrived and persisted through August.  Once into September and more so in October, we were blessed with warm and dry weather, allowing us to round out our harvest season in good conditions.  The abundant moisture during the summer months resulted in a smaller crop but yielded very fruit-driven and expressive reds and sparkling and bright and refreshing whites and rosés.
