Barry Family Cellars Gruner Veltliner 2023

The Barry Family Cellars Grüner Veltliner 2023 is a white wine from the Finger Lakes region of New York, produced by Ian Barry, who is known for his low-intervention approach.

This Grüner Veltliner is sourced from a single vineyard on the east side of Seneca Lake. The winemaking involves splitting the lot: half the grapes are whole-cluster pressed and fermented in stainless steel, while the other half are destemmed, undergo five days of skin contact, and are aged in an older French oak puncheon. The two lots are then combined, and the wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered. This split treatment is intended to give the wine a more complex, textural quality while maintaining freshness. The resulting wine is often described with notes of green apple, citrus, white pepper, and stone fruit.
