The location

The Cradle of Riesling

The Künstler winery is located in the heart of the Rheingau, one of Germany's most renowned wine regions. The vineyards benefit from mineral-rich soils and a special microclimate shaped by the Rhine. These ideal conditions give the wines their unique minerality and finesse. The Riesling in particular thrives here and produces elegant, aromatic wines.
