We are a family business in Bechtheim, located in southern Rheinhessen, near Worms. We cultivate all our vineyards ourselves, because the quality of the wine begins in the vineyard. We vinify it ourselves in our cellar and bottle it ourselves.

The Bernd Philipp Runkel winery looks back on a long tradition. Since the 1990s, winemaker Bernd Runkel has been processing 7 ha of vineyards in Bechtheim (Rheinhessen), which have been family-owned for five generations. Bernd Runkel is a calm, thoughtful man with a sense of humor in his eyes and blessed with a pleasant and enigmatic humor, qualities that are reflected in his wines: how the conductor harmonizes the interplay of different instruments or how the painter coordinates his colours in a single picture. so Bernd Runkel...

Gault Millau 2014: "It deserves the utmost respect for what the gifted Marc Weinreich has done in recent years. The deserved reward: the second grape. "M. Lüer:" It is not just the smoky minerality of the Riesling local wine that is absolutely in need of time to mature. Even the Chardonnay & Pinot Blanc unfolds its suppleness only sip by sip. Weinreich's vineyard wines are record-breaking (...) Weinreich clearly writes a new chapter in wine history in the time-honored winegrowing town. Every sip sits. "

"Three things are important to us: it is the cooperation of the generations in the winery, the care of the vineyards and the contact with our customers, for whom we produce excellent wines. Being a winemaker family is a vocation for us, "says Stefan Erbeldinger. The vines stand on fertile loess and clay soils, limestone weathering and marl layers. Despite a wide range of grape varieties, the focus is on Pinot Blanc and Riesling, which also has been documented by many awards over the years. Great attention is also paid to the...
