The Kerner grape variety is ideal for creating a superb dessert wine. The ripened grapes are left to dry for a 5 months. During this period, the weight of the grapes is reduced to less than half while its sugar content increases. After pressing, the sugar content reaches about 38%. After slow fermentation in stainless steel vats, the new wine is put to age in barriques for about five months, and then decanted into 0.375 litre bottles.
