Dr. Wehrheim —
biodynamic Southern Palatinate wines from the chestnut bush

The Dr. Wehrheim winery is located in Birkweiler, a small wine village in the heart of the Southern Palatinate , and cultivates approximately 17 hectares of vineyards. As a member of the Association of German Prädikat Wine Estates (VDP), the winery stands for a clear quality hierarchy — from classic estate wines to the Grand Cru wines from the top vineyard sites Kastanienbusch, Mandelberg, and Kastanienbusch Köppel.

The vineyards are cultivated according to biodynamic principles: no herbicides, consistent humus build-up, and promotion of biodiversity. Harvesting is done exclusively by hand. The result is wines that don't hide their origin—Riesling with the spicy depth of the Bunter sandstone soil, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris with a creamy texture, and a Pinot Noir that combines the warmth of the Southern Palatinate with Burgundian restraint.

Anyone looking for wines that understand terroir not as a marketing term, but as a tangible argument in the glass, will find one of the most reliable addresses in the Palatinate at Dr. Wehrheim.
