Weingut Dr. Koehler

Direct and clear, without kitsch and frills, that is what makes the wines of the winery Dr. Koehler. Already the labels of the bottle represent this philosophy with their numbers  and clear forms unmistakably that here is not talked around the bush.

Winery Dr. Koehler - Tradition since 1898

The Dr. Koehler W inery in Bechtheim has been in existence since 1898. In 2006, the Dreißigacker family took over the 26 hectares of vineyards and the Wilhelminian manor house in the adjacent park. Concerned about the preservation of traditional values and at the same time implementing innovations, high-quality wines full of character are cultivated under the management of Christian Dreißigacker, a winegrower from the Rhine-Hesse region.

The vineyards of Dr. Koehler

The quality of the wine begins in the vineyard. The land is farmed exclusively organically, and the soil is planted to keep it healthy, providing the vines with an ideal foundation for balanced ripening. The Dr. Koehler winery grows the following grape varieties:

• Sauvignon Blanc
• Pinot Gris
• Pinot Blanc
• Pinot Noir
• Riesling
• Chardonnay
• Cabernet Sauvignon
• Merlot

The soil is fertilized with horse manure and only biological preparations are used for plant protection. This contributes to the preservation of healthy soil, which - combined with plenty of sunshine - provides ideal conditions for the cultivation of Koehler wines.

In the cellar of Dr. Koehler

The cellar is all about rest and giving the wine time to mature and develop its character, which is typical for the respective grape variety. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, and some are then aged in barrels. 

The number on the bottle label stands for the parcel from which the grapes originate, since Dr. Koehler grows almost exclusively single varietals.
