Parentage of the grape: Kerner is a cross between Schiava Grossa (Trollinger) and Riesling.
History of the grape: Kerner was bred by German scientists in 1969. It is late-budding and frost-resistant, making it ideal for the cool growing climate. It has been used as an ingredient in Liebframilch, but that’s a bit of a waste, since good Kerner is well worth drinking on its own. Best of all, Kerner is named for a local 19th century writer of drinking songs.
Characteristics of the grape: Rielsing-like, with similar floral and fruit aromatics, but not as refined as Riesling.
Regions where the grape currently is important: In Germany, it is grown mostly in the Pfalz and Rheinhessen, as well as in its home, Wurttemberg, and in Franken. It is also grown in England, northern Italy, Japan, and South Africa.

Bright golden color. Very light, almost disappearing aroma of late summer fruits and something like passion fruit... Semi-dry buttery, round taste of flower honey, apricots and peppy red orange at the end. Read More

Had to suffer through too many mediocre wines tonight: an atrocious Nahe kerner Kabinett, a so-so Spatlese from the same place, a relatively nasty Mosel riesling Auslese, and from Mendoza a horrible throat jerking malbec following a so-so cab.The salvation, at least relatively speaking, was a merlot blend (60% merlot, 13% cab franc, 7% cab sauv,...

There are going to be some exciting changes at Snooth in 2016! We have a few ... obscure such as Charbono and Kerner. Gabe prefers his Petite Sirahs with lots of age on them, and his Sauvignon Blancs to be fermented in Concrete Eggs.

There’s nothing quite like having wine friends. After all, our mutual ... ... Nimmo: Retail $22. 69% Kerner, 11% Gewürztraminer, 10% Riesling, 10% Bacchus. If you like playing tricks on your wine geek friends, serve this to them blind and have them guess. I will bet you a bottle (or even a case) that they won't come anywhere close to naming e...
