Winerie

The Künstler Winery in Hochheim am Main (Rheingau) is a renowned family-owned winery with roots dating back to 1648, which was reestablished by Franz Künstler in 1965. Under Gunter Künstler, the winery is known for its precise, characterful top-quality wines (79% Riesling), the highest standards of quality, sustainability, and the wines’ exceptional aging potential.
