The Kerner grape variety was created in 1929 at the German research institute Weinberg from a cross between the two grape varieties Trollinger (red) and Rhine Riesling (white) and was formerly called “white herald”. It was only later “renamed” Kerner in reference to the Swabian poet Justinus Kerner who had lived in Weinsberg. Kerner is a demanding grape variety, which is very susceptible to vine diseases and produces a lot of miser shoots due to genetic reasons. It therefore requires complex and special care in the vineyard. The grapes for this Kerner are picked by hand and carefully selected. In the cellar, attention is paid to a particularly long maceration period before fermentation in order to preserve as many aromas as possible from the grape skins. Fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures. The expansion takes place exclusively in steel tanks.
