94 points Kerin O'Keefe: "Elderflower, tropical fruit, Alpine herb and nutmeg aromas almost jump out of the glass on the generous, delicious 2023 Kerner Praepositus. Full-bodied and vibrant, the racy, savory palate mirrors the nose, delivering gooseberry, grapefruit, yellow peach and tangy saline. Bright acidity keeps it balanced and loaded with energy. (Jul 2024)" 93 points Decanter: "This Kerner's golden-yellow hue hints at the sunny altitudes in Bressanone, northeast of Bolzano. From vines grown at 650m-750m, it balances power with alpine freshness, bursting with peach, dried apricot and orange peel scents, lifted by a flinty edge. The palate is juicy, with soft fruit aromas and a touch of ginger over a mineral core of crushed rock. Drink now or hold - its Riesling heritage (Kerner is a 1929 crossing of Schiava and Riesling) will unfurl beautifully after 8-10 years. Drink 2025-2035. (October 2025)"
