Few consumers, even in Germany, have heard of Ilbesheim at the southern end of the Pfalz not far from the Alsatian border.Nor is the Kalmit site yet particularly well-known.That may soon change.Over the past few vintages, Boris Kranz has continued to ascend through the ranks:he was recently admitted to the VDP and has now bottled a range of 2011s that includes a pinot blanc that was among the best dry wines of the vintage in all of Germany.Any importer looking for a German estate with a decidedly southern accent should knock at this door.
