This grauer burgunder is a copper-colored wine made by ripe pinot gris grapes. The wine is expressive, spicy and has exotic aromas like kumqat and orange. It has a slightly creamy texture from the skin contact during winemaking. It has a typical grauer burgunder character combined with a fine minerality and a slight saltiness.
The vineyards,where the grapes for this wine are planted, extend like a belt around the east in thevalley of little Kalmit, the hill on which Weingut Kranz is located. The soil is a mixture of loess, loam and has moderate chalky content. This wine matures partly in used oak barrels and partly in stainless steel.
From a traditional "mixed farm," the company developed into a full-fledged wine company after World War II under the leadership of the grandparents of the current generation.
With great care, the plantings were cared for with an emphatic focus on the type of soil in relation to the grape variety. Boris Kranz has been working organically for years, banning any form of chemical agents in the vineyard or cellar. Pinot blanc, riesling, chardonnay and pinot noir are the only grapes used.
Harvesting is done by hand and a strict selection of grapes follows in the vineyard and cellar. The grapes are only lightly crushed and substantially pressed without soaking. The juice is allowed to settle for a while after which the wine ferments with natural yeasts. The effect is a series of wines with great finesse, purity and ragged acidity, which is also beautifully incorporated into the wine.
