Tatomer Santa Barbara County Gruner Veltliner Meeresboden 2024 CS20230804 Mohrhardt yielded just enough fruitMeeresboden 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.

Native yeast fermentation, mostly stainless with a little acacia wood, malolactic blocked to keep the acidity intact.
