Kranz

Pfalz Riesling from the Kalmit vineyard, dry to dessert.

Kranz is a Pfalz winery producing Riesling of considerable depth. The vineyard's Kalmit site yields wines across the spectrum of ripeness and style. The Kalmit Riesling Beerenauslese, a nobly rotted expression, reaches toward honeyed complexity. The Kalmit Riesling GG—the winery's dry, grand cru–equivalent bottling—and the Kalmit Terrassenlage Riesling Trocken, drawn from the vineyard's terraced slopes, both demonstrate the mineral precision and structure that characterize the region's finest dry Rieslings. Wine Advocate, Falstaff, and Decanter have all assessed the portfolio. The winery's focus remains singular: expressing the Kalmit vineyard's character across the full range of German Riesling tradition, from bone-dry to lusciously sweet.
