2022 Grüner Veltliner – Estate Grown
Crisp, mineral-driven white from estate vines planted in 2010
Grüner Veltliner isn’t common in Oregon—but it thrives on our Yamhill-Carlton estate. Planted in 2010 at nearly 770 feet elevation in Willakenzie soils, these vines produce a lean, vibrant wine with energy and finesse. The 2022 vintage is dry and lifted, with citrus, white nectarine, ginger, and a mineral finish. Fermented in stainless steel and aged on the lees through winter, this is a crisp, expressive white with cool-climate character and unmistakable Grüner charm. Only 12 cases remain. Serve chilled and pair boldly.
