2025 Tatomer "Meeresboden" Santa Barbara County Grüner Veltliner

The 2025 Grüner Veltliner Meeresboden shows its typical depth and an extra kick of minerality. In this vintage, it’s 100% Kick-On Ranch, made from both the first pick and the last pick of the harvest. Tactile minerality delivers layers of crushed stone, gravel, oyster shell and golden apple. Such intensity and focus come across with stunning clarity and purity, finishing with lace-like delicacy and impeccable balance. Graham Tatomer chose to age the 2025 in a higher percentage (60%) of acacia barrels because of lower yields, which lends a honeyed richness on the finish. What a beauty.
