A white grape varietel that was created in 1969 by August Herold. He dedicated this grape in naming it after the local writer of drinking songs Justinus Kerner. Kerner is a cross between Schiava and Riesling. When combining these two grapes Kerner has taken on most of the good properties making it an easy to grow, vigorous, and also a varietal that buds late.
Kerner has a medium viscosity probably from the Schiava. It takes on some of the qualities of Riesling being very aromatic, with notes of flowers, stone fruits and, tropical fruits. You almost think that there is a hint of sweetness to it and more often than not, there is one gram of residual sugar.
