Kessler – a name that needs no introduction. For almost 200 years, sparkling wines have been produced in the medieval cellars of Esslingen am Neckar, showcasing the true meaning of patience and craftsmanship. Founded by Georg Christian von Kessler, who brought the traditional method of bottle fermentation from France, the winery still uses the méthode traditionnelle: hand-riddled, aged on the lees for years – 30 to over 60 months. The result: fine bubbles, freshness without harshness, depth without heaviness. Brut and extra brut are not just buzzwords here, but a conviction. A house with a clear stance – uncompromising.

Kessler Sekt –
Württemberg craftsmanship for almost 200 years
Kessler is the oldest sparkling wine cellar in Germany – founded in 1826 by Georg Christian von Kessler, who brought the bottle fermentation method directly from Champagne. To this day, work is carried out in the medieval vaulted cellars under Esslingen am Neckar according to the méthode traditionnelle: every bottle riddled by hand, every vintage left on the yeast until it is ready.
Aging times start at 30 months and reach over 60 months for selected cuvées – an effort that shows in the glass. Fine, persistent perlage, a freshness without sharpness, and a depth that one simply does not find in industrially produced sparkling wine. Brut and extra brut are not labels for the zeitgeist at Kessler, but an expression of a clear conviction.
Anyone who has once compared Kessler with a good Champagne understands why the house has been going its own way for almost two centuries – without shortcuts, without compromises in craftsmanship.
