"The 2023 Grner Veltliner Meeresboden, German for 'ocean soil," has become a signature wine in the Tatomer lineup. Sourced from John Sebastiano and Kick-on Ranch, it was aged in predominantly stainless steel with additions of acacia foudre without malolactic fermentation. A stony, bright, clean nose of green fruits, citrus peels, wet slate and petrichor transitions to a pleasantly supple, suave palate. The finish begins on a graceful, layered note before impressively expanding in dimension and length."
