This micro-production, single-barrel wine from Riesling master, Graham Tatomer, represents the cutting edge of white winemaking in California. Winemaker, Graham Tatomer, apprenticed at Weingut Knoll, one of Austria's preeminent producers of Riesling and Gruner Veltliner and much of that old world influence is showcased in this wine. Dry, zippy, and refreshing, this wine is highlighted by layers of melon, lime zest, crushed chalk, with a hint of jasmine and spice coming through on the finish. One barrel of this wine was produced and it's available exclusively through Winestyr. This wine will continue to develop in the cellar for 10+ years. Only 24 cases produced.
Graham Tatomer began working in the wine business at the age of 16 for Santa Barbara Winery. It soon grew into a passion and in 2003, he packed his bags and moved to Austria to get a better grip on the growing and making of Riesling. He was able to find work with Weingut Knoll who also turned him onto the Grüner Veltliner grape. What initially was planned to be a ten-week trip; turned into a year and two additional harvests in the Wachau. Graham left with abundant knowledge of old world winemaking with a focus on Riesling, Grüner Veltliner, and Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir). The wines are made with masterful precision and we're proud to have them in the Winestyr portfolio.
