The Daily August White is an estate Riesling produced by August Kesseler in the Rheingau region of Germany. Crafted as an accessible, everyday wine, it is made from 100% Riesling grapes sourced from various vineyards across the estate. Fermentation and aging take place primarily in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats to preserve the grape's natural acidity, bright fruit profile, and mineral characteristics. The resulting wine is typically light-bodied, crisp, and off-dry to dry, reflecting the classic cool-climate terroir of the Rheingau.

Founded in 1924, the August Kesseler winery is located in Assmannshausen in the Rheingau region, Germany. It is owned and operated by August Kesseler, who took over the estate from his parents in 1977 at a young age. The winery is renowned for its uncompromising commitment to quality, managing historic top vineyards like Assmannshäuser Höllenberg and Rüdesheimer Berg Schlossberg. They are particularly famous for their elegant, mineral-driven Pinot Noir (Spätburgunder) and precise, expressive Riesling wines.
