Producer description of "Weingut Künstler"

The winery is located in the municipality of Hochheim in the German wine-growing region of Rheingau. The Sudeten German family had been growing wine since 1648 in Untertannovitz in southern Moravia before emigrating to Hochheim after the war in 1945. Franz Künstler managed other wineries in Hochheim for 15 years before finally setting up his own business in 1965. Since 1988, the business has been run by his son Gunter. In 1996, the winery Geheimrat Aschrott Erben with 12 hectares of vineyards was acquired. These wines are marketed under their own label.
