The name Rajat Parr has become synonymous with excellent craft and impeccable taste. Parr’s journey has brought him around the globe, across the fine dining world, and eventually and perhaps most notably into the world of wine production. His partnerships and solo projects in Sandhi, Evening Land Vineyards, Domaine de la Cote, and Phelan Farm have resulted in some of the most respected wines in the domestic market. Since 2020 he has taken a bit of a step back from his old front-facing roles to focus on farming and developing his own systems of natural winemaking. In that time he also began making wines under the ‘Brij’ name: negociant wines from trusted vineyards that are a bit more accessible and no less impressive. The ‘Brij’ wines are an excellent example of the variety, possibilities, and skill that are coming out of this small, often overlooked region of California.
Soft green vegetal notes like fresh shoots of asparagus, white pepper spice, and green pineapple form the palate for this incredibly welcoming Grüner. The wine has a medium body with a bit of weight to it, and a touch of oiliness to the texture that gives it a substantial feeling. Don’t be surprised if you end up wanting to spend the whole day with your new best ‘freund’.
