Tasting Notes
The 2022 Grüner Veltliner is truly reminiscent of the Austrian wines that inspired us to cultivate this atop our La Belle Promenade Vineyard. This wine is clear and brilliant, pale straw in color with faint green reflections. Aromas showcase white peach, green apple, citrus blossom, and subtle hints of white pepper. The palate is refreshingly crisp with flavors of ripe pear, grapefruit, honeydew melon, and a touch of petrichor. With its silky texture, lively acidity, and a long, zesty finish accented by citrus zest and green herbs, this versatile white wine complements a wide range of cuisines, from seafood to aged cheeses and vegetable-driven sides.
Vineyard Notes
100% La Belle Promenade Vineyard | Chehalem Mountains AVA | 700 - 800’ Elevation | Northeastern & Southwestern Exposure | Volcanic Soils, Jory & Nekia | Planted to Mixed Pinot Noir Clones | La Belle Promenade Vineyard is planted to 36 acres of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier, Grüner Veltliner and Aligoté. It sits on top of volcanic soils, with the western portion of the site consisting of a thick layer of fractured basalt. Due in part to its high elevation, this site allows for great diversity in concert with our other estate vineyard, Flanerie.
