THE WINERY AUGUST KESSELER
Our winery is located in the Pinot Noir heartland of Assmannshausen, in one of the most prestigious wine growing areas for Riesling - the Rheingau.
With the Assmannshäuser Höllenberg, the Rüdesheimer Berg Schlossberg, the Lorchhäuser Seligmacher or the Hattenheimer Wisselbrunnen, we have some of the best Pinot Noir and Riesling vineyard sites that the lower and middle Rheingau has to offer nowadays.
It is due to this privilege that we have dedicated ourselves passionately to Pinot Noir and Riesling. Our heart beats for these two extraordinary grape varieties, from which we produce our wines and sparkling wines. Naturally with the highest quality standards and a consistent philosophy.
Awarded 5 stars in the Falstaff Wine Guide 2026, 4 stars in the VINUM Wine Guide Germany 2026, and 5 grapes by Gault&Millau (Henris) 2026.
Also rated 4.5 points in the Feinschmecker Wine Guide 2026 and recognised for its “outstanding wine quality”among the best wineries in Germany.
