Mitterberg Kerner Without

“This is the seventh vintage of my project. Also for this wine I selected only highly ripe, golden-yellow Kerner grapes from the Vial vineyard.” Michael Sölva

Tasting notes:
Color: dark yellow
Aroma: very intensive aroma of grapes and tannins; reminiscent of hazelnut and tropical fruit.
Taste: elegant and very present tannins, typical must fermentation notes.

Food pairings:
This wine is as versatile as it is unusual. It is ideal with tasty starters and flavorsome main dishes and also mature cheeses to finish.

Vinification:
20% of the grapes with stem underwent whole cluster fermen-tation and 80% were destemmed and fermented on the skins in a fermenting cask followed by storage in a used oak barrel. As the name suggests, the wine underwent spontaneous fermentation without the use of sulfur and was bottled without fining and filtering. The bottled wine can accordingly have a natural cloudiness.
