Tuscowallame Estate is one of only 29 places you'll find Grüner Veltliner growing in North America. In addition to a bit of weight, it almost always seems to have the white pepper I associate with this grape. The 2023 also has lemon and lime zest aromas to accompany a floral plumeria note. Lemon sorbet, tarragon and spearmint flavors go on forever.
 
Winemaker Notes
Our Tuscowallame Estate is one of only 29 growing sites for Grüner Veltliner in North America. Scott Shull embarked on the journey to make an American version of this Austrian star after a delightful and enlightening experience dining on Thai food and quaffing Austrian Grüner Veltliner while on a market visit to the midwest. True to its original inspiration, this wine is a fantastic compliment to spicy, exotic fare as well as a delightful companion to seafood and more delicate continental dishes such as flaky white fish, pork, and chicken. Weightier and more textured than its Alsatian counterparts, the Raptor Ridge Tuscowallame Estate Grüner Veltliner is an outstanding, well-loved, and continually highly scoring component of our story. Serve at 50 degrees in Burgundy glasses for the optimum experience.
