Kerner is a German variety, VIVC-recorded as a cross of Schiava Grossa and Riesling Weiss, bred for reliable ripening in cool climates. California's record for it is brief: it appears only in district crush data from 2004 to 2014 in a single crush district, with no county acreage ever reported to CDFA. It has effectively disappeared from California's current vineyard record.

What is published
Counts describe what this atlas holds for Kerner, not what California grows. A zero is a published answer: it means the source names the grape and reports nothing under it, or does not name it at all.
