Discover the grape variety: Kerner

Aromatic, structured whites with lively acidity and a slender mouth, featuring muscat-like aromas of white peach, apricot, white flowers, citrus and Riesling-like notes. Made as nervy dry wines (Trocken), off-dry (Kabinett, Spätlese) and mineral high-altitude cuvées. Grown in Germany (Rheinhessen, Palatinate, Württemberg), northern Italy (Alto Adige in the high Val Venosta valleys) and Japan. A Trollinger × Riesling cross created in 1929 in Weinsberg.

The wine region of Hokkaid&#333-ken

Japan's northernmost island (43°N, Burgundy latitude), cool-climate region on the rise. Signature Pinot Noir tailored for cold: fine, silky reds with signature tart cherry, raspberry, undergrowth, sweet spice and a mineral touch, delicate tannins and taut freshness — compared to cool-vintage Burgundies. Kerner (German crossing) in aromatic muscat-scented white (citrus, peach, flowers). Also precise Chardonnay, supple Zweigelt.

The word of the wine: Performance

Quantity of grapes harvested per hectare. In AOC, the average yield is limited on the proposal of the appellation syndicate, validated by the Inao. The use of high-performance plant material (especially clones) and better control of vine diseases have increased yields. This is not without consequences on the quality of the wines (dilution) and on the state of the market (too much wine). We must not over-simplify: low yields are not synonymous with quality, and it is often in years with generous harvests that we find the greatest vintages (1982 and 1986 in Bordeaux, 1996 in Champagne, 1990 and 2005 in Burgundy...).
