Description
White Wine by Vollendet from Central Coast, California. While the fruit is from Monterey (not the Wachau), my vision was to come as close as possible to the Austrian style of Gruner. The fruit was picked early to allow for low alcohol and to retain acidity. After whole cluster pressing, the juice was fermented to dryness in stainless steel. The wine was kept on lees to enhance the mid palate and I preserved some of its natural carbonation for a hint of spritz. As an exceptionally food friendly wine, Vollendet pairs well with a variety of foods, from raw oysters, sashimi and fish tartars, to Vietnamese black cod steamed in banana leaves and spicy Thai curries. Fresh cheeses, leafy greens, dishes with herbs and, of course, Wiener Schnitzel are excellent pairings as well.
