"The 2023 Grüner Veltliner Meeresboden is a blend from John Sebastiano and Kick-On, done with native fermentations and aged 50% in acacia barrels and 50% in stainless steel. Powerful, creamy, yeasty tones and minty white peach fruit blossom upward and outward in a bold, voluptuous wine with no shortage of precision or clarity. Honeyed nuances make this feel almost hedonistic, but the scintillating acids never let up. Wow."

"The 2023 Grner 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."
