Kerner is not a typical grape variety for the Czech Republic although in neighbour Germany it belongs to the most grown ones. There is only an area of 43 ha planted in Moravia, therefore it creates a marginal part of the local production. However, the grape has very good resistance to frost because of its late budding, so the yields are high every year. It also ripens to high sugar content, so it provides regularly very good grapes for Prädikatswein. It is quite a new grape, a German cross of Trollinger and Riesling. The varietal has been named in honor of a physician and poet J. Kerner whose work included poetry and songs on wine.

Pale green-yellow color, intense aroma of dark honey, lemon, muscat and floral notes. The palate reminds of concentrated Riesling flavors, dark honey, apples, pears, dried apricots, sweetened lemon. The primary sweet taste is slashed by surprisingly pronounced zesty acidity, very lively tickling the palate. The crisp finish is lingering into slightly bitter pomelo and grapefruit notes. This Kerner definitely surprises by strong acidity which backbones the high content of residual sugar, so although categorized as semi-sweet, it is a pleasant wine.
This wine comes from a collection FLOWER LINE which connects wines carrying joy and optimism, produced with an intent to emphasize the primary varietal aromatics, intense fruits, freshness and crispiness. A beautiful label shows eye-catching paintings of wild flowers, attracting mainly women customers.
