Kerner - Traube und Blatt

The crossing took place in 1929 at the State Teaching and Research Institute in Weinsberg (Württemberg) by breeder August Herold (1902-1973). The varietal protection was granted in 1969. The name was given after the Swabian doctor and wine writer Justinus Kerner (1786-1862), who lived in Weinsberg. By the way, Rotberger and Witberger also originated from the same parents. Kerner was a crossing partner of the new breeds Juwel, Roter Milan, and Silcher. A mutation is Kernling, which is characterized by fewer shoots.
