Abbazia di Novacella Praepositus Kerner 2023

Light golden yellow with clearly green reflections. Ripe peaches, dried apricots, orange peel, ginger, and elder blossoms. Juicy and powerful, with soft fruit sweetness in the finish. The 2023 Kerner Praepositus is nearly tropical in character, as minty herbs and hints of kiwi give way to green melon and sweet spice. It is youthfully dense on the palate, with a core of ripe orchard fruits and candied citrus tones that flow across its silken textures as a bump of zesty acidity adds freshness toward the close. A stern mineral component emerges through the tension-filled finale, as nuances of mint fade slowly. Smoky and focused on stone fruit, broom flowers and white pepper. Refined with silky texture, light body and a refreshing finish. Very polished aftertaste. Drink now. A sleek white,offering a juicy profile of kiwi fruit, ruby red grape fruit and lime sorbet. Mineral and floral details push through on the finish.
