Gruner velt
Introducing "OFF-LINE" – the perfect excuse to step away from screens and embrace the moment. This crisp and refreshing Grüner Veltliner offers the ideal balance of bubbly effervescence and easy-drinking charm. With its signature delicate aromatics, it’s the perfect companion for those times when you close your laptop, leave your phone behind, and simply enjoy a glass (or two) of wine. Disconnect in the best way possible.

A wine created on behalf of 12-year-old Evelyn, our assistant winemaker, who wanted a "purple" wine that helped raise money to fight the homeless crisis in our community. 5% of sales of the Vin d'Evelyn go directly to grassroots organizations helping neighbors in need find stable housing and safety.
55% Syrah, 37% Mourvèdre, & 8% Grenache.
2023 Gruner Veltliner $30BTL $10BTG
Grüner Veltliner
It's Back! Just in time for Spring.
Our Gruner is sourced from both Washington and Oregon states, farmed organically and sustainably. We foot-stomp the grapes in the picking bin, and then barrel ferment and age in neutral French Oak for six months. We allow full Malo-lactic fermentation, and as such, this wine is unfiltered. Ripping acidity, with depth and that characteristic Gruner spiciness. Only 200 cases produced.
ABOUT Ricochet Wines:
“Ricochet Wine Company was founded with a focus on community: the connection, the collaboration, and the compassion.
We believe wine is meant to be shared. A bottle is opened to enjoy with others - for a conversation, for a meal, for a moment of friendship. And we make killer, sophisticated, honest wine that is accessible to a wide spectrum of folks.
We support and celebrate our fellow winemakers’ success in the same way they do ours. Our fruit is sourced from vineyard partners who share our values. Our winemaking facility and tasting room are a second home to several winery friends.
We give back to those in need by donating 5% of our wine sales to local and regional non-profit organizations who specialize in helping people bounce back from difficult situations. Because life is full of metaphoric ricochets.
WINE IS COMMUNITY.” - read more on their website here
