This Kerner, which is a rare German variety, is one of our absolute favorites every year it is released! The winery is just thirty minutes from the boarder of Austria in the high altitutes of the Dolomite Mountains. It reveals strikingly chalky, saline minerality more reminiscent of a fancy Chablis in the way it polishes the palate. Whereas sunlight is scarce in many mountainous regions, Manni’s vines receive so much he prefers to keep them shaded under a leafy canopy. In doing so, his Kerner stays pristine and zesty, true to its Alpine terroir. This is an incredible glass of wine and comes Highly Recommended.

“The 2022 Kerner wafts up with a cooling blend of lemon sorbet, chamomile and sweet smoke that soothes the soul. This is deeply textural, nearly weighty in feel yet energetic and spry, with tart orchard fruits energized by saline-tinged acidity as hints of kiwi and sour citrus add tension toward the close. While long and staining, the 2022 is also impossibly fresh, leaving a caking of minerality and traces of candied lime that wonderful contrast. This embodies Kerner's combination of richness, vivid fruit and energy in the best possible way.”
