Employee profile June 2013

Franziska Arnold, "vintage" 1988, completed oenological studies in Geisenheim/Rheingau, one of Germany's leading wine schools. After several months as an apprentice at Schloss Johannisberg, she began her studies in Geisenheim in 2009. She comes from a vintner's family in Martinsthal/Rheingau and has been familiar with wine and viticulture from early on. Both of her parents also studied in Geisenheim and operate a traditional wine estate, Weingut Paul Kessler, in Martinsthal. Franziska has been part of our team since 2012. She's responsible for our diverse marketing activities. In addition, she works on numerous projects related to our labels, brochures, and packaging. In her free time, the Riesling enthusiast enjoys reading and is an active member in the Martinsthal fire department. It goes without saying that she also helps out at her family's wine estate.
