Franz Gojer Kerner Karneid 2025

Franz Gojer Kerner Karneid 2025 is a distinctive Alto Adige white that captures the bright, aromatic side of Kerner with real precision and mountain freshness. Produced from high-altitude vineyards in Cornedo all’Isarco, it stands out for its lively balance of fruit, minerality, and tension, offering an authentic taste of South Tyrol’s cool-climate winemaking heritage.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a pale, bright straw-yellow color with a youthful, luminous sheen. The nose is expressive and inviting, layering ripe peach and citrus with a subtle hint of nutmeg that gives the wine extra character. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and neatly linear, with crisp acidity carrying the flavors through a fresh, fruit-driven finish. The mineral backbone and vibrant structure suggest very good drinking in its youth, while also giving it the ability to develop additional nuance over the next few years.

Production
The wine comes from vineyards in Cornedo all’Isarco on the western and northwestern slopes of South Tyrol, where Kerner vines are planted at 550 to 600 meters above sea level. The sandy soils, formed from the breakdown of porphyry rock and enriched by glacial deposits of granite, basalt, and gneiss, contribute to the wine’s pronounced minerality and taut, alpine profile. Production follows a careful double-harvest approach: the first pick preserves acidity, while the second adds body and aromatic intensity. In the cellar, the grapes are handled gently using gravity-based methods before pressing, followed by natural cold settling of the must for 48 hours and a slow, tightly controlled fermentation. The wine then undergoes extended clarification and ageing until spring to refine its structure and preserve elegance.

Food & Serving
Franz Gojer Kerner Karneid 2025 is excellent as an aperitif and pairs beautifully with fresh salads, vegetarian dishes, and flavorful grilled fish. Serve it well chilled, ideally around 8-10°C, to highlight its crispness and aromatic lift. Decanting is not necessary; a short rest in the glass is enough to let its perfume open up.
