Franz Gojer is one of Alto Adige’s most respected small-production growers, known for crafting expressive, mineral-driven mountain wines from the steep hillsides surrounding Bolzano. The Kerner Karneid 2025 comes from the Karneid area, where high-elevation vineyards, cool alpine air, and rocky soils help create a white wine with freshness, precision, and aromatic lift.

Kerner is a distinctive white grape variety that thrives in cooler mountain climates. Gojer’s Kerner parcel sits on a northwest-facing slope at approximately 550–600 meters elevation, planted in soils composed of sand, porphyry, granite, basalt, and gneiss. Like Gojer’s other white wines, it is aged on the lees until spring, adding texture and depth while preserving its crisp, lively profile.

Expect classic notes of peach, citrus, white flowers, and slate-like minerality, with a clean, refreshing finish. This is a bright yet structured white wine — aromatic without being heavy, mineral without being austere, and beautifully suited for food.

Food Pairing Suggestions:
Excellent with seafood, grilled shrimp, scallops, sushi, fresh oysters, alpine cheeses, roast chicken, asparagus, spring vegetables, herb-driven dishes, and lighter Asian-inspired cuisine. It also pairs beautifully with goat cheese, fresh mozzarella, and simple white fish preparations.

Style: Crisp, aromatic, mineral-driven, elegant
Best Served: Chilled, around 45–50°F
