Kerner

Kerner Late Harvest Wine Details
Price: $15.99 per bottle

Description: The Kerner grapes originate from two distinct vineyards in the Okanagan Valley. Harvested in October at 24.1 Brix. A yeast strain specifically designed for late harvest wines was employed. Cool fermented to retain maximum flavours. Lemon in hue, this wine's layered aroma suggests ripe peaches and spiced pears. The complex flavours range from butter to lemon tarts. Subtly light on the palate, this wine finishes with delicate elegance and finesse, with a hint of natural sweetness. Served chilled, this wine is attractive on its own, with salads and fresh fruits and with fresh salmon with hollandaise.

Varietal Definition
Kerner:
Grape developed from a cross between the Riesling and Schiava Grossa grapes. The latter variety is known as the Trollinger in Germany where it is mostly grown. Used to produce a Riesling-like white wine said to often reach "Auslese" Pradikat quality.
