About us
Situated in the middle of the German Wine Road, Dr. Josef Köhr crafts unique wines grown at the estate’s traditional vineyard plots in Ruppertsberg (Pfalz) and its surroundings.
The favourable micro-climate of the region is owed to the exposition at the foot of the Pfälzerwald mountainside. As a part of the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, the Pfälzerwald is Germany’s largest continuous forest area and seamlessly merges with the French Northern Vosges.
Impressive castle ruins situated alongside pastoral forest passages are contemporary witnesses of the region’s moved past. The first documented vineyard ownership of the family dates back to the year 1648 and exhibits the deep-rootedness of the family in the region.
Today, Dr. Josef Köhr cultivates in equal shares white and red grape varieties on a total area of 16 ha. The oldest vineyard plots have been in the family for 200 years and are planted with vines aged up to 40 years.
These plots constitute the foundation of the winery’s premium wines. Riesling and Pinot constitute the estate’s most important grape varieties.
