Reustle Grüner Veltliner is an exceptional wine year after year. The Reustle family began producing Grüner in the US in 2005. Grown in their Prayer Rock Vineyard in the Umpqua Valley, they make world-class Grüner that should be widely known. The 2020 Grüner Hefeabzug is juicy, fresh and bursting with aromas of green apple, lemon and lime fruits enhanced by the distinctive herb and spice elements of the grape. The fresh green bean and white pepper tones add a unique appeal and complexity to the juicy fruit. The flavors are clean and bright, with pure fruit expression and a full texture. It all makes for a versatile and pleasing white wine. Grüner Veltliner pairs especially well with vegetable recipes. Its inherent green nuances make it a versatile companion for seafood dishes with a fresh green herb component as well.
