This GG riesling is powerful, juicy and lively with typical chalky undertones and salty hints. It has an exciting fine minerality that is combined with fruit reminiscent of green apple and white peach. A wine very typical of the sleek and unique 2021 vintage that can continue to age effortlessly for decades to come.
The grapes come from a soil with land snail limestone combined with marl and loam.The porous limestone stores heat and ensures optimal ripening of the grapes. The roots of the vine penetrate well into the tertiary limestone. After the manual harvest, the grapes are selected very selectively and only lightly bruised. Without maceration, the grapes are pressed and fermented with natural yeasts. The wine ages on its full yeast until July 2022 and matures in inox 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.
