Weingut Scherner-Kleinhanss: A Family Legacy in Rheinhessen

Scherner-Kleinhanß Winery: A Gem in Rheinhessen

Weingut Scherner-Kleinhanß is a cherished family-owned winery nestled in the heart of Rheinhessen, Germany. Located in Flörsheim-Dalsheim, the vineyards benefit from the protective embrace of the Donnerberg peak, creating an ideal microclimate and rich soil for vine cultivation. Rheinhessen is renowned as one of Germany's warmest and driest wine regions, attracting wine enthusiasts from around the globe.

A Winery Born from Love

The winery's story began in 1726 when Joseph Jodokus Scherner, a carpenter from Bayreuth, settled in Dalheim. He established the Scherner winery, complete with a barn and wine cellar, laying the foundation for a family winemaking tradition. In 1954, a marriage to the Kleinhanß family further enriched this legacy, leading to the winery's current name, Weingut Scherner-Kleinhanß. Today, Klaus R. Scherner proudly continues this tradition, managing the winery in its ninth generation.

Sun-Kissed German Wines

Spanning 12.5 hectares, Klaus cultivates a diverse array of traditional grape varieties using sustainable practices. The vineyard features popular grapes such as Riesling, Weißburgunder, Grauburgunder, and Rivaner, alongside aromatic Spätburgunder, Sauvignon Blanc, Muskat-Ottonel, Bacchus, and Dornfeld. With four years of experience as a cellar master in Canada, Klaus emphasizes traditional methods, including hand-picking grapes to ensure the highest quality.

At Scherner-Kleinhanß, the focus is on conventional winemaking techniques that reflect the unique terroir of the region.

The winery produces a range of dry wines, including exceptional red, white, and rosé options, complemented by delightful sparkling and dessert wines.
