Kerner 2019 Rielinger Winery Bio

Description:
The Kerner from Rielinger farm has a straw yellow color with greenish reflections. Aroma of grapefruit, apricots, pineapple, mandarin and honey, is very lively, juicy and racy in the mouth. Convincing with its mineral and very long finish. 

Grape variety:
100% Kerner - South Tyrol Weinberg Dolomiten - The Kernergrape was crossed in 1948 in Weinsberg (Germany) from Vernatsch (Schiava) and Riesling and was named after the poet Justinus Kerner. 

Production area:
The Rielinger has 0.6ha with Kerner at 720 - 800m above sea level planted. On the steep southern slope at the foot of Ritten with deep morainic soils, which consist of sandy loam and the topsoil of the Bolzano porphyry plate, grow fruity mineral wines.

Vinification:
With this white wine the Rielingerhof wants to reflect its terroir, which is particularly suitable for the Kerner. Due to the natural, very low yield the maximum quality is taken out. The hand-picked grapes are harvested in two harvest cycles to achieve a more complex aroma spectrum. 30% of the grapes were fermented on the skins and had a mash contact of 30 days. Subsequently, of the total amount, approx. 50% were removed in the large acacia barrel and 50% in the steel barrel. 

Matching:
It is certainly a great aperitif wine, but equally good with a juicy steak.

8 - 10°C.
