Every great wine is characterized by its origin. The soil on which the vines grow and thrive is decisive for the character of the wine. We have found these perfect conditions for ourselves and our wines in Bacharach. The winery, which the Bär family took over from Friedrich Bastian in 2021, looks back on a long tradition. It is proven that wine has been cultivated in Bacharach for 300 years. After taking over the winery as the Bär family in 2021, we were able to round off the winery from 4 ha to 20 ha by expanding the vineyards, over 90% of which is planted with Riesling. Known as one of the most prestigious wine regions in Germany, the Middle Rhine Valley is a varied area with a long wine-growing tradition. For Riesling enthusiasts, an almost forgotten gem of German wine-growing culture. Family-run, our winery is located in the middle of the small wine-growing region of the Middle Rhine. With a share of 90%, we mainly cultivate Riesling vineyards here. With our family winery, we are passionately committed to growing dry Rieslings of the highest quality. We do not aim to satisfy everyone but to pass on our fascination for Riesling.

Great wines are made with passion, dedication, and experience.  Since 1831 we are carrefully craftig our wines around Bacharach on the steep slopes of the famous Mittelrhein valley.  Today, Cecilia Jost is the seventh generation to run the winery. We are currently cultivating 15 hectares on both sides of the Rhine: on the right bank of the Rhine in the Rheingau and on the left bank of the Rhine in the Middle Rhine Valley around Bacharach. Viticulture shapes the Middle Rhine Valley. Surrounded by castles and medieval towns, steep vineyards and slate cliffs define the romantic landscape. In the special microclimate, the vines that claw their way into the rocks here produce fine, highly aromatic Rieslings and mineral Pinot Noirs.
