Kupferberg

Producer description of "Kupferberg (Henkell & Co. Sektkellerei KG)"

Christian Adalbert Kupferberg (1824-1876) founded the company Kempf & Kupferberg with his partner Robert Kempf in Neustadt in the Palatinate in 1847 to start the "manufacture of sparkling wines". In 1850 Kupferberg separated from Kempf and founded his own champagne house in Mainz. He found ideal conditions on the Kästrich hill above Mainz, as there were large, extensive cellar facilities underground. Thanks to the excellent quality of the sparkling wine, Kupferberg quickly acquired a large customer base, especially in Great Britain. The company developed into an export pioneer for German sparkling wine, namely the brands Rheinwein, Moselwein, Hochheimer and Sparkling Moselle.
