Deborah Podurgiel WSET IV Candidate - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

Fort Berens Estate Winery Small Lot Grüner Veltliner (2022) is absolutely stunning! Zesty, refreshing and with a lot of character, the wine is dry, medium-bodied and fragrant with orange blossom, fresh cut apple, pear, lime zest and fresh-cut grass aromas. juicy-fresh and beautifully balanced with medium-plus-acidity, creamy and crisp on the palate. Finishes long on a zesty lime note. So, so good now. Drink to 2025. Tasted June 2023.

The 2022 vintage was produced from 100% Grüner sourced from the winery's estate Red Rock Vineyard. Grapes were hand-harvested, destemmed and crushed with skin contact for up to four hours. A portion of the wine juice (30%) was fermented in neutral oak barrels with the balance cold-fermented in stainless-steel tank to enhance the wine's aromatics and mouthfeel. Easy to enjoy chilled on its own or with salads. 303 cases made.
