Who needs complexity when you can have clean alpine lines & a transparent expression of Sauvignon Blanc from Alto Adige? fits the bill of a winter white.

Lanolin and lemon. Like sucking on a sweater dipped in lemon juice.

Expanding my pallet. This is delicious. Fruity clean and as smooth as the other side of the pillow.

It's Kerner so it's aromatic. But there is also a nice minerality to this wine. Aged 'sur lie' for six minths. A joy to drink. Note to self: Kerner is a crossing between Trollinger and Riesling. Crossed by researcher August Herold. So why is it called Kerner? It is named after 19th century German poet Justinus Kerner, who -apparently- wrote a lot about wine.

Crisp with wonderful mineralogy. A great wine with food or just a sunny afternoon.

Hmm....like a dry reisling meets garganega meets a sur lie muscadet. Nice but non-essential. $23

Seductive floral aromatics in a good contrast with firm acid & herb dusted bright citrus fruit on the palate. Ridiculously easy to drink.

Kerner (schiava grossa X Riesling)- intense mineral presence w/ exotic leesy spice... Or is it the cumin lentil soup?
