Tatomer Santa Barbara County Gruner Veltliner Meeresboden 2024 25OFF2024BFCM Grown in an old river

Grown in an old river bed

and a streak of stony minerality from that distinctive limestone soil

and that aromatic lift that's the calling card of the appellation

Drop it into a Negroni or a Tom Collins and it stays legible under everything else in the glass

including bourbon barrels

Tatomer Santa Barbara County Gruner Veltliner Meeresboden 2024 25OFF2024BFCM Grown in an old riverMeeresboden means ocean floor, and it isn't a metaphor. The sites Graham Tatomer blends here sit on sand, diatomaceous earth, and loam, the fossilized leftovers of a seabed, a few miles from a very cold Pacific. That geology shows up in the glass as a salty, kelp like minerality running underneath the stone fruit and yellow citrus. Native yeast fermentation, mostly stainless with a little acacia wood, malolactic blocked to keep the acidity intact.
