The riesling grape is the great white grape variety ofGermany. This is because of its longevity and ability to bring out the character of the vineyards. These riesling grapes grow on the mountain ridges south of Weingut Kranz. The cool winds create a fresh and pure wine.
This Gutswein is a clean and precise style of riesling. This wine has juicy fruit and fine citrus notes of lime and orange peel. It has an elegant freshness, with a slightly salty undertone that makes it a perfect companion to a variety of dishes.
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.
