Founding winegrower Stephen Reustle entered two vintages of his lees-aged Grüner, and while this is a year older, it came in as one of the most decorated wines of the 2022 Platinum. It’s remarkably lively while the midpalate brings the flavors of cantaloupe and lemon curd from the surlie approach, and there’s still the underlying classic note of white pepper and minerality.
