Kessler

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 –
sparkling wine from Esslingen, handcrafted for almost 200 years

Kessler is Germany's oldest sparkling wine producer – founded in 1826 by Georg Christian von Kessler, who brought the traditional method of bottle fermentation directly from Champagne. To this day, the traditional method is still used in the medieval vaulted cellars beneath Esslingen am Neckar : each bottle is riddled by hand, and each vintage matures patiently on the lees.

Depending on the cuvée, lees aging lasts between 30 and over 60 months – far exceeding legal requirements. This shapes the style: fine, persistent bubbles, a freshness without harshness, and a depth rarely found in industrially produced sparkling wine. At Kessler, Brut and Extra Brut are not marketing terms, but rather expressions of a firm conviction.

Anyone who understands sparkling wine as a serious alternative to champagne will find in Kessler a house with attitude – uncompromising in craftsmanship and style, without talking about it loudly.
