Aurora Cellars has made their debut in VinePair! VinePair is the largest digital media company that delivers content about drinks culture and important trends and topics in wine, beer, and spirits.
This week our 2021 Grüner Veltliner was named one of “The 14 Best Grüner Veltliners of 2023” and received a 90 point rating. We are honored to be the only Michigan winery and the only Midwest winery to be included in the list. Read what Keith Beavers has to say about our delicious cool-climate Grüner Veltliner:
“Siblings Sam and Taylor Simpson discovered this property and knew right away it was a viticultural gemstone. Up here on the Leelanau Peninsula of northern Michigan, where winters are hefty and long, they concentrate on making high-quality wine from cool-climate grapes. They say they focus mostly on reds, but this Grüner is really great, giving us an idea of what this Austrian native, cool-climate variety can do here. And it’s awesome. It’s angular and lean on the nose with some apricot or mango aromas. The mouthfeel is well balanced, with soft fruit and calm acidity. The texture you get on the palate is wonderful.”
Whether you are a fan of Grüner Veltliner or have never tried it before, we would love for you to pay us a visit and try our nationally-recognized one for yourself!
