Kerner

Kerner Today, Kerner is the most widely planted new crossing in Germany, covering about 7% of the surface devoted to viticulture. Bred in 1969 in Württemberg and named after a local poet, Justinius Kerner, it is a crossing of Trollinger and Riesling. 

Kerner Compared with Riesling, Kerner can be grown in less favourable sites and yields more. Kerner ripens in early October. The wines are fresh, racy and fruity — not unlike Riesling — yet milder in acidity, with a more pronounced bouquet, often with a Muscat tone. The largest vineyard areas of Kerner are in the Pfalz, Rheinhessen, Württemberg and Mosel-Saar-Ruwer regions 

Aromas: Muscat tone
