This spatbugunder has a mixture of red and black berries such as cherry and wild raspberry in the aroma. The wine is powerful and intense on the palate without being opulent and underlain with a fine minerality. It has a juicy harmony, fine flavor and noble tannins with a long and complex finish.
The grapes come from a vineyard with extremely high lime content in the marl and loess soil. After the manual harvest, the grapes are re-sorted and partially de-stemmed in the winery. Fermentation occurs completely spontaneously with natural yeasts. The wine matures for 18 months in exclusively French oak and is bottled unfiltered.
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.
