Gilchrist’s Grüner Veltliner
Bottoms Up
By Anna Faller | Feb. 28, 2026
We’re already thinking spring over here—specifically, spring in central Europe—and we’re setting the vibe with the 2024 Grüner Veltliner from Gilchrist Farm + Winery in Suttons Bay, which just won a Double Gold award at the 2026 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition! Featuring all estate grown grapes, this boundary-pushing varietal known for its prominence in Austria took root in enriched, loamy soil before fermenting in stainless steel tanks for about six months. The result is an Old World-style white wine with a modern twist: dry with a crisp and acidic structure, with notes of juicy nectarine and white pepper carried by clean minerality. It’s perfect for sipping alongside the kitchen’s burrata with tomato, spinach slaw, and crostini (or on a one-way flight across the Atlantic…your call!). Prepare for travel-worthy bliss at Gilchrist Farm + Winery at 417 N St. Joseph St. in Suttons Bay. gilchristfarmwinery.com
