Kerner Grappa. Kerner, which is only cultivated on about 30 hectares in South Tyrol's Vinschgau and especially in the Eisack Valley, is a comparatively young grape variety - it was bred in the 1920s as a cross between red Trollinger and white Riesling. The vine produces a spicy, straw-yellow white wine with greenish reflections. The Hofbrennerei Zu Plun obtains the marc for this wine from the Köferer vineyard in Neustift, where, in addition to Riesling and Silvaner, a solid Kerner with the minerality typical of the growing region is pressed. Its class is also found in a clear grappa full of character. Like the wine, the Kerner Grappa from the Hofbrennerei Zu Plun is reserved on the nose, but dry, full and very present on the palate. On the finish, this distillate has a restrained, finely structured aroma profile with nutmeg-like flavours.
