2010 年的 Kerner 十分華麗，帶有甜白桃、斜刃面、鼠尾草及薄荷的味道，比往年的同款更精致更樸實(shí)，余味中交織著微微的花香味。Kerner 仍是該莊園最具代表性的葡萄酒，在專(zhuān)門(mén)的不銹鋼罐中進(jìn)行發(fā)酵和陳釀，我特別欣賞其精細(xì)微妙之感。預(yù)期成熟時(shí)間：2012-2016 年。

The 2009 Kerner bursts from the glass with an exciting array of mint, flowers, passion fruit and crushed rocks. This is a beautiful, vivid white that takes shape in the glass, continuing to show off its remarkable class. A textured, creamy finish rounds things out in style. The estate’s Kerner is one of the great, great wines of Alto Adige, and the 2009 is nothing short of breathtaking. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2015. Kofererhof is one of the jewels in Italian oenology today. These brilliant, pure whites capture the essence of the Isarco Valley, Italy’s most northerly appellation. In short, I can’t recommend these wines highly enough.A Marc de Grazia Selection, various American importers, including: de Grazia Imports; tel.

The 2008 Kerner flows with the essence of passion fruit, lime, honey and jasmine. The expansive, generous style suggests notes of botrytis-like sweetness that add wonderful complexity. The 2008 is an especially rich, generous vintage for this wine. This is a gorgeous effort from Kofererhof. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2012. Kofererhof is located in Valle Isarco, one of the most privileged spots in Alto Adige for intensely focused, mineral-driven whites. Proprietor Gunther Kerschbaumer began estate-bottling his own wines with the 1995 vintage, and since then Kofererhof has emerged as one of Italy’s most exciting properties. Unfortunately only a few of the 2008s were in bottle as we went to press, but I hope to be able to taste the rest of the estate’s current releases in the near future.A Marc de Grazia Selection, various American importers, including: de Grazia Imports; tel.
