The estate is located in the commune of Hochheim in the Rheingau wine-growing region in Germany. It was founded in 1965 by Franz Künstler, who previously worked as a winery manager. The family has its origins in the Sudetenland in what used to be the eastern German provinces, and was involved in wine production in the town of Untertannovitz in southern Moravia since 1648, before emigrating to Hochheim in 1945. The estate has been run by Gunter Künstler since the late 1980’s. His motto is: „Wine is culture, art is culture – wine ist he culture of living“. The Geheimrat Aschrott estate, with 12 hectares of vineyard area, was acquired in 1996. manor house of the Aschrott estate dates back to the 15th century, and serves as the joint headquarters of both estates, although the wines of the two estates continue to be marketed separately. Overall, the vineyard area totals 26 hectares, of which 22 ha are planted with Riesling, while the remainder are planted with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The holdings include parcels of the Grand Cru classified Domdechaney, Hölle and Kirchenstück sites in Hochheim. Since 1988, the best dry wines are bottled as „Künstler-trocken“ in an attractive antique green bottle. The estate is one of the best producers of dry Riesling in the world. Bottle-fermented sparkling wines are also produced. The estate is a member of the VDP (Verband deutscher Prädikats- und Qualitäts-Weingüter) association.
