Radoar
Radoy Kerner
Alto Adige, Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy
100% Kerner produced from a high altitude, biodynamic vineyard in an off-dry style; a style I typically don’t enjoy. But tonight is not a typical night because our dear friends prepared Bo Ssam for dinner and I figured this might just be an appropriate pairing. Light straw color in the glass. Medium to high viscosity. Honeysuckle, honeydew melon, white flowers, and white peach dazzled the nose. There was the slightest hint of gas, presenting as a light prickly sensation to the tongue however, that quickly dissipated. Apricot, melon, citrus and minerals dance across the palate and each sip begged for another bite of the Bo Ssam...which in turn begged for another sip of the Radoar. I should note that there is great acid here, balancing out the RS to perfection. And while I still don’t prefer this style, I can not deny how lovely this was with such a fine meal. I wouldn’t bat an eye at making this selection again. What a delight!

Crazy wine. Super fresh. The fruit sweetness is countered with amazing acidity. One of the most distinctive typical melon flavor I can recall. Delicious.

Delish. Sweet but acidic enough to not be cloying at all. Like a tart melon drizzled with honey.
