This weisser burgunger is full of juicy fruit, reminiscent of green pear & ripe apples. The wine is elegant, refreshing and has light creaminess that is combined with pleasant acidity.
Dhe 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 hasa moderate chalky content.
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 planting was 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 gossamer acid, which is also beautifully incorporated into the wine.
