Kerner, Tenuta Pacher Hof, Valle Isarco, Alto Adige, Italy 2021
This is like a spring meadow in a glass. White flowers, vetiver, edelweiss, gooseberry, lime and something slightly herbal or grassy. A fine line of green apple acidity brings all the elements into alignment, finishing on a dainty note of nutmeg. If you like Cantina Terlano’s Pinot Bianco Riserva ‘Vorberg’, then my human intelligence algorithm says that you should also like this. 13.5% alc. Dry. Drink now-2026.
Press reviews:
The Wine Enthusiast: “Delicate scents of tropical fruit, cake spice and citrus shape the inviting nose on this stunning white. The delicious, medium-bodied palate delivers juicy peach, grapefruit, nutmeg and wild herb while white almond and flinty mineral notes lend depth. It's vibrant, with bright acidity.” 94 points
The Wine Advocate: “Here's a pretty white that has not been reviewed in a while. The Pacher Hof 2021 Alto Adige Valle Isarco Kerner shows a bright personality with tropical flower, wild sage, crushed stone, tea leaf and green melon. There are distant hints of petrol or smoke that offer a loose indication of where this wine is headed as it continues its bottle evolution. I love its tight impact on the senses.” 92 points
