Tasting Note
Fuller in body and more luscious in texture than Riesling, Kerner is wonderfully aromatic with a creamy palate and bright acidity that keeps it fresh, lively and oh-so drinkable. Described as “Riesling on steroids,” this wine is for the foodie, the sommelier, and anyone chasing something different.
Every now and then you encounter a wine that blows your mind. Kerner is one of them. Haven’t heard of it? You’re not alone.

Halliday Wine Companion
Pale straw with bright citrus and light stone fruit tones. Hints of almond paste, citrus blossom, crisp pear, crushed stone and dried meadow flowers. A light textural note and a brisk, minerally finish; this makes for great and really interesting drinking.

The Story
First planted in 1929 by August Herold as a cross of Riesling and Trollinger, Kerner made its way to the Eden Valley in 2013 when Graeme and Michael Fechner returned from a research trip to Germany with cuttings in hand. After years of experimentation — including field blends like DÜFTE PUNKT — the Fechners released the first KONTRAPUNKT in 2016, bringing Australia (and the Southern Hemisphere) its only varietal Kerner.
Viticulture & Winemaking
Planted in the northern Eden Valley by the Fechner family, Kerner was initially co-fermented with Riesling and Gewürztraminer. KONTRAPUNKT became its own varietal release in 2016. This wine reflects a decade of careful vineyard development and winemaking focus.
