This Weißer Burgunder has aromas of ripe fruits like apricots and pears combined with creamy notes and spices. The wine is full and powerful in the core with a fine freshness, juicy length a slightly salty minerality.
The grapes for this Weißer Burgunder come from the lower southern slopes of the Ilbesheimer Kalmit. Also, dgrapes from younger vines from the VDP Grosse and Erste Lage around the Kalmit are also used. The grapes come from a soil with land snail limestone combined with marl, loam and a loess-rich topsoil. After the manual harvest, the grapes are very selectively selected and gently crushed to obtain the best possible finesse, freshness and tension. Without maceration, the grapes are pressed and fermented with natural yeasts. The wine is aged 50% in oak barrels.
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 gossamer acid, which is also beautifully incorporated into the wine.
