The Havlin Vineyard Grüner Veltliner, which is aged in 2/3 acacia barrel and 1/3 neutral oak barrel, is more texture-driven. It’s taut, focused, and mineral – drinking this is more like drinking rocks than fruit. And yet, thanks to its subtly creamy texture, the wine is not the least bit austere.

You'll find aromas of yellow plums, meadow flowers, Rainier cherry, and baking spices. On the palate, crisp acids frame fresh orchard fruit, zingy white pepper, and the aforementioned rocks. This beautifully balanced wine finishes with a saline undertow, and additional complexity should emerge over the next several years.
