Also from the Hotel Vineyard, the 2023 Grüner Veltliner Willamette Valley sports a shimmering yellow/silver hue and reveals aromas of salted pineapple, white pepper, melon, and verbena. The palate offers vibrant energy, with a snappy lift of ripe acidity in a medium-bodied frame, and it's rounded and supple through the mid-palate and finish. It's a wonderfully pure expression of Grüner that's unusual to find outside of Austria. Drink 2024-2030.

Wet stone, mint leaf and sage complement sweet citrus and kiwi as the 2023 Gruner Veltliner lifts up from the glass. This opens with a pretty inner sweetness, displaying soft, round textures, citrus-tinged melon and hints of confectionary spice. It tapers off remarkably fresh, completely cleansing the senses while leaving behind perfumed florals and a gently grippy tinge of youthful tension.
