Winery Dorst

1 winery, 3 young winemakers, 4 generations and a shared passion. Everything under one roof - in our winery in Wörrstadt! Making a lifelong bond with nature. A bond that we have built through our daily work in the vineyard - with our region, each of our plots and our vines. We keep the quality reins always tight enough, so that we can stand for each grape and for each bottle, with our name. With this consequence, we are firmly in the saddle and never lose sight of the goal.
With our 25 ha vineyard, we only sell bottled wine and have built up a strong brand. The special feature: EVERY work area, from the vine planting to the customer, carries our handwriting and happens on our own, in interaction with our 2 employees and 2 trainees. Our desire for natural action is a gift to future generations.
Our 3-stage system consists of the estate wines - the good base, the terroir wines and the single vineyard wines. Our main sites - Kachelberg, Ritterberg and Rheingrafenberg give us the chance to fill the stamp of the origin, without blurring it, with the bottle.

On the estate only German is spoken.

Sulzheimer Schildberg

Sulzheimer Schildberg (Shield mountain of Sulzberg)

Paint for the tower, concrete for the vineyard house

No, nobody is up to anything here (German: etwas im Schilde führen). The name is based on the shield-shaped, humpbacked elevation. The local community of Sulzheim is surrounded by the vines of the single vineyard. A variety of vines grow on clay marl and limestone. The Schildberg tower was built by the community in 2010 and painted according to designs by the colour designer Professor von Garnier. The motto is: "When the flag flies on the Schildberg, there is always good wine there". Another highlight is the ultra-modern concrete vineyard house Perka, an experimental and research building of the Technical University of Kaiserslautern. Two rest areas with a panorama and table of wine delight hikers.

Wörrstädter Rheingrafenberg

Wörrstädter Rheingrafenberg

Owned by the Rhine counts

The location was given this name because of the close historical connection between Wörrstadt and the Rheingrafen (English: Rhine counts). In the Middle Ages, they shared the claim to local jurisdiction with the Lords of Löwenstein; both maintained monastic bailiwicks and property there. After a dispute in 1274, the Löwensteins were pushed further and further back. Wörrstadt remained in the possession of the Rheingrafen until the French Revolution and was thus part of Kurpfalz. A variety of grape varieties grows on marl and limestone.
