Terrior
Willamette Valley’s cool, maritime-influenced climate is ideal for Grüner Veltliner, with its warm days and cool nights that help maintain natural acidity and nuanced aromatics. The vineyard’s loamy, volcanic soils contribute a distinct minerality, while the region’s moderate climate allows the grape to develop a complex profile of fruit and spice.

Appearance
Pale straw with a slight green tint, bright and clear, indicating youthful freshness.

Nose
Aromas of green apple, lemon zest, and white peach are prominent, accompanied by subtle notes of white pepper, freshly cut herbs, and a hint of wet stone minerality.

Palate
On the palate, this wine is light to medium-bodied, with vibrant acidity and flavors of lime, pear, and melon. The characteristic white pepper spice of Grüner Veltliner adds complexity, while a crisp mineral edge provides structure. The wine is balanced with a smooth, slightly creamy texture from lees aging, giving it depth without sacrificing freshness.

Finish
The finish is long and clean, with lingering citrus and a refreshing mineral note, leaving a crisp, invigorating impression.

Overall Impression
The Scenic Valley Farms Grüner Veltliner is an expressive, terroir-driven wine that showcases both the varietal’s distinctive profile and the Willamette Valley’s cool-climate character. Its acidity and mineral backbone make it an excellent pairing with seafood, asparagus, light Asian dishes, or creamy cheeses, and it also serves as a refreshing aperitif.
