The Kerner is a typical Wurttemberg wine. Bred from Trollinger and Riesling vines by the Wurttemberg Experimental and Teaching Institute of Wine and Fruit Growing at Weinsberg, it is named after the local poet, physician and venophile Justinus Kerner.
Well adapted to local sites and soil, it develops a fine, spicy fruit typical of the variety. It produces a full-bodied wine with fine, racy acidity which it inherites from the Riesling and which gives very good Pradikat wine.
The variety is very versatile and has many of he characteristics of Riesling to which it is often compared.
The dry styles are at their best with foods such as white meats, poultry and fish particularly so if the sauce is created with the same wine.
