Kranz 2019 Kirchberg Riesling Grand Cru dry is a minerally elegant Riesling with juicy fruit, characteristic acid structure, and a long finish on the palate. It is highly aromatic and has a fine saltiness. This wine is made from grapes that are sorted again in the winery after elective hand-picking and are processed very gently to obtain the best possible finesse, freshness, and tension. The grapes are only lightly crushed and pressed without maceration, then lightly pre-clarified and fermented with natural yeast. Maturation in wood barrels gives this wine its unique character. The wine is produced in a very old terraced vineyard in the Palatinate, where the soil is extremely calcareous and the area is exposed to the southwest. The wine is suitable for both men and women to enjoy.
