Served at a Stanford hiking trip of the Italian lake country. Dry, with stone fruit flavors, perfect for a dinner which featured fish and cheese.

GW Gravner tasting 10/26/16. Medium orange color. Fermented on skin 5-6 months and in amphora kilo liter size since 2001. Nose of orange peels and beeswax and a bit of honey but acidic in balance with stone fruits. Destemmed and punched down six times a day. Very acidic and firm on palate with very long acidic and minerals finish. Blend of SB, Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay and Riesling Italico. — 8 years ago
Year has made a significant change to this wine. Last summer it was bit too much of everything where as now the wine has mellowed, integrated and even shows some complexity. Nice mineral streak gives firmness and the bit over the top ripeness is better aligned with the acidity giving better balance. I still think the regular bottling is overall a better package. — 5 years ago

A cross between riesling italico and furmint...top — 10 years ago
I guess this disproves the supposition that natural wines don’t age. This Gravner was from the 2006 vintage. No formal notes with the family home for Christmas. This had an oxidative note along with cumquat full bodied flavours. At this age, an acquired taste. As you can see the colour in the glass is a deep amber. A blend of Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, Riesling Italico, fermented separately and aged together. Fermented in Georgian qvevri buried underground with ambient yeast and no temperature control. Unfined and unfiltered. — 2 years ago

Exotic smoky walnut and hickory wood aromas in an orange Riesling wine. One of a kind. Drank it over 3,weeks, better each time. — a month ago
