Obermairlhof Kerner 2012




The Alois Ochsenreiter’s wines, also owner of Haderburg wine company, are at home on these pixels, for many reasons, primarily because they are good and I like it; then because I know quite well this family of winemakers, having been many times at the cellar and, last but not least, I know their philosophy, I find in their wines, pattern of expression of the terroir. For me it is enough.

I like the Kerner - the cross, created in 1929, between the Schiava Grossa grape and the Riesling grape - particularly that one of Alois, my favorite.

In this cup, there is a figure of fresh rocky minerality, less at the nose, more in the mouth. And then the tropical fruit - avocado and pineapple - citrus and delicate vegetable hints, hay, mowing of grasses growing in these valleys, practically untouched.

Fine matching nose-palate, where a straight acidity enriches the drink, for a mouth, wide, layered, dried by many, extremely pleasant, hints of crystalline rock.
For me it is enough.
