Kerner: a grape from the cross between the black Trollinger grape and Riesling. The grape ripens early and is resistant to frost, giving generous yields and wines with much character. Developed in Wurttemberg and only introduced in 1969, it is now widely cultivated, particularly in Rheinhessen and Pfalz. Not often seen as a varietal, it is used in Liebfraumilch blends.
