SUSTAINABLY FARMED
Kerner is a refreshing and charming variety whose parents are Riesling and another Germanic variety, Trollinger. Like Riesling, its relatively high acidity and light body is matched by aromatic intensity, but in Kerner it's more restrained and nuanced. Kofererhof is a small winery in the high foothills of the Italian Alps, perfect for cool climate varieties.
"Weingut Köfererhof is one of Italy’s smallest and best white wine producers. Just about any grape variety owner Günther Kerschbaumer touches turns to gold. Over the years, he has fashioned remarkably delicious and age worthy wines from the likes of Sylvaner, Riesling, Kerner, Müller-Thurgau and other varieties”—Ian d’Agata, VINOUS
"Kofererhof’s few hectares of vines are located at the base of the Dolomite mountains between 700 and 800 meters above sea level. At this high altitude, the variation in temperatures from day to night is ideal, and the carefully tended, high-density vineyards yield intensely fragrant, concentrated and well-balanced wines. All grapes are harvested by hand, and attention to detail is paramount in this limited production winery. Farming practices are currently of low environmental impact [sustainable] but tend toward organic. Indigenous yeasts are used, except in the rare instance of a particularly challenging vintage. All wines are fermented and aged in temperature-controlled tanks." - SKURNIK IMPORTS
