Grüner Veltliner that tastes like Grüner Veltliner! An FLX spin to the weighty Austrian Grüners the winemakers love so much. White pepper, flint, and grapefruit pith on the nose immediately signal this wine isn’t a light-bodied sipper, and on the midpalate it lives up to expectations. Generous fruit from the cold soaking, texture from the barrel fermentations, and weight from the lees stirring all combine to make for a Grüner that makes a serious mark.

Though New York’s Finger Lakes region is renowned for its steely expressions of Riesling, who’s to say another cool-climate white grape like Grüner Veltliner can’t thrive there too? Working with only a small, half-acre plot of the variety on Seneca Lake, winemaker Kelby James Russell is showing the potential for Grüner Veltliner. This wine delivers the grape’s signature white pepper and lemon aromas on the nose. There’s a great tension between the waxy, round texture on the palate and the wine’s naturally crisp acidity.
