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 clean wine. It has lots of fresh fruit with notes of green apple and citrus which is combined with pleasant acidity. Easy to drink both as an aperitif and with various dishes. A riesling for every day!
From a traditional "mixed farm," the company developed after World War II under the leadership of the grandparents of the current generation into a full-fledged wine company.
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.
