2022 iruai ‘Mystery Lodge’ Grüner Veltliner

CALIFORNIA AVA

12.5% ALC / 23 cases produced

Grüner has played an important role in the Shasta-Cascade White Wine for afew years now, turning up the twangy acid reverb in the background to eleven. For this season's Mystery Lodge release I'm excited to have our first solo bottling of Grüner Veltliner primarily from the Trinity Lakes AVA with some additional fruit from the foothills near Mt. Lassen. After a year in acacia barrels, the crunchy and high toned citrusy elements of the wine have been softened and framed by the subtle and supple texture of acacia wood. The result is a lively and aromatic wine — both refreshing and generous — perfect for the family members on kitchen duty early in the day of any of the many upcoming holidays. Try our limited edition Grüner with something like seared fresh like tuna tacos or crudo.
