Reustle – Prayer Rock Vineyards 2016 Estate Smaragd Hefeabzug Grüner Veltliner, Umpqua Valley, $24
Southern Oregon, the Umpqua Valley in particular, has become a remarkable home to pioneering winemaking. Stephen Reustle began his trailblazing with the Austria white variety Grüner Veltliner in 2005. A decade later, he remains the United States’s premier producer. This work with clone 01 is utterly fascinating, yet not overly geeky. The nose of lime, honeydew melon, jicama and river rock transcends into flavors of Bosc pear and starfruit. Along the edges of Key lime and flecks of minerality there’s lemon curd creaminess for an impressive yet friendly finish that should play nicely with veggies and seafood as well as chicken and pork.
Rating: Outstanding!
Production: 465 cases
Alcohol: 13.6%
