Johan Vineyards Gruner Vertliner

Gruner Veltliner has so much to give. The varietal character is intense and highly unique suiting itself perfectly to hands-off winemaking methods. There is a range of fruit maturity with which this grape can be harvested to lend itself to different styles. The resulting wines can vary from lean and herbal, to highly textured and exotic smelling depending on the vineyards ability to ripen the fruit. Our site produces fruit that wants to be rich and exotic producing significant texture for its meager alcohol levels. We prefer this style for our own taste and encourage it by aging the wine in oak casks for 10 months with full solids.
