Kerner Carned Kellerei Kaltern 2022 750ml

Vintage: the weather conditions make the 2019 viticultural year a challenge for our winegrowers. A relatively mild winter and early spring were followed by a wet and cool
April and May. After flowering, which did not occur until June, the weather situation turned around and it became hot and dry. Late summer delayed the ripening of the
grapes with some rainfall and below-average temperatures. Harvesting of the healthy grapes began in early September and continued until the end of October.
Tasting notes: bright yellow, fruity aroma of ripe peach, mango and coconut milk, full mouthfeel with lots of ripe fruit on the palate, juicy finish.

Recommendation: try it as an aperitif, with light starters, summer salads, asparagus dishes, grilled fish or with mild sliced and fresh cheeses!

Vinification: Whole cluster pressing of ripe and above all perfectly healthy grapes, 18-hour maceration, natural must clarification, slow fermentation at a controlled
temperature of 18 °C (approx. 50% spontaneous fermentation in large wooden barrels), 5-month ageing on the fine lees, filtration and bottling in March.
