This spatburgunder has fine red fruit with hints of cherry, currant, spice and a fine minerality. On the palate it is full of red fruit, is harmonious with nice length and fine tannins on the finish.
The grapes grow on strong clay soils with layers of sand and lime. After the manual harvest, the grapes are re-sorted and de-stemmed in the winery. The wine ferments completely spontaneously with natural yeasts. The wine matures in older oak barrels until unfiltered bottling.
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.
