Winery Kessler

young and dynamic - for 25 years now -

Originating from a traditional Rheinhessen mixed estate, we decided early on to devote our entire attention solely to the wine.

Two generations work hand in hand today - with experience, passion and creativity, we always create new wines that are pure enjoyment. Wines for people who appreciate nature and share the joy of wine with us.

The responsible and environmentally conscious cultivation of our vineyards is a matter of course for us. As a certified organic winery, we stand for a holistic cultivation system, with the renunciation of chemical-synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, as well as the preservation of the natural habitat for plants and animals.

As you walk through our vineyards, you notice one thing immediately: the biodiversity that is reflected in a variety of flowering herbs, clover, flowers and a wealth of insects and birds. We deliberately promote the distribution of beneficial organisms.

The ecological attitude characterizes our life, our work and our wines.

English speaking visitors are welcome.

Zornheimer Guldenmorgen

Zornheimer Guldenmorgen

Measure of area or unit of currency? Either way, there definitely is quality potential

The vineyard name contains the Middle High German adjective "Gülden, Golden". This is documented many times in the Grimms' German dictionary. Gulden originally referred to a gold coin, then became a unit of account, currency. However, in relation to this vineyard name it can also be read that "gülden, golden" is the root word for the area measurement of a 1/4 hectare. Where does this interpretation come from? Or was a quarter of a hectare of this site once weighed with a Gulden (German currency of the time)? Nobody knows. Obviously the vineyard was worth something, that is certain. Guldenmorgen as quality potential. Riesling, Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay or Huxelrebe grow here on sandy and loamy marl as well as deep, chalky clay soil. The vineyard cottage "Am Hohberg" is inconspicuous but idyllically situated.

Zornheimer Vogelsang

Zornheimer Vogelsang

Made arable by man or sung by birds

Two possible interpretations are circulating: Either the site got its name from an old slash-and-burn area - by singeing, lightly burning a surface for cultivation (German: sengen). Or it actually refers to the numerous birds that nest there. In this sunny vineyard, vines grow on very chalky, stony and sandy loam soil. The Pinot Noir from the limestone is particularly prized. And while tasting the wines from the "Zornheimer Vogelsang" you are welcome to sing and whistle.
