Notes of fresh lemon, ripe pear and fresh flowers, rounded out with hints of apricot, cream and baking spice. Full bodied with crisp acidity and found finish.
Try serving the wine with seared salmon with crispy skin, a whole smoker roasted chicken or pumpkin ravioli.
Whether new to Gruner Veltliner or a longtime fan of the grape, this exquisite expression from Hirsch promises to please. Hailing from Austria’s famed Kamptal region, fruit for this wine is grown in calcareous and loamy soils, which is responsible for the structured, mineral-driven backbone of the wine (AKA, what we love about it so much!) This our go-to with sushi. It also pairs well with Thai food or anything with a little spice.
Organic and biodynamically-farmed vineyards, family-owned estate, slow fermented with native yeasts, and vinified entirely in steel.
Sancerre, Gruner Veltliner, Vermentino lovers – This one’s for you. Grown on the volcanic island of Ischia, this wine quite literally tastes like the azure waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Our director of imports enjoyed this wine for the first time with a large bowl of pasta alla vongole after an ocean dip. “The salty sea still lingering on my lips and this light, crisp wine on that hot day was unparalleled.”
Organic farming practices, hand-harvested, native yeast fermentation, minimal intervention winemaking and only 400 cases produced.
Marc Colin is one of the G.O.A.Ts and this wine comes from ‘Les Encegnieres’ vineyard. There are two “Les Encégnières/Les Enceignières” parcels- one in Chassagne-Montrachet that lies directly underneath Grand Cru Bâtard, and one in Puligny-Montrachet that lies directly beneath Grand Cru Bienvenue-Bâtard. That is as close as you are going to get for hundreds of dollars less.
