Bischöflichen Weingüter Trier - Episcopal Wine Estates Trier

A rich tradition: In 1966, the merger of three significant wineries— Bischöfliches Konvikt, Bischöfliches Priesterseminar und Hohe Domkirche —created an estate with vineyards in absolutely prime locations.
In the legendary steep slopes along the river valleys of the Mosel, Saar, and Ruwer, the grapes are harvested for our terroir driven premium wines. These wines invite you to experience the unique diversity of vineyards and the vibrant wine culture of the area.. The wine cellars extend directly beneath the Old Town of Trier over approximately 30,000 m² and house the largest still-operating “Fuder” barrel cellar in the world.
The vineyards are managed from two operational facilities: Duisburger Hof in Trier-Eitelsbach and Alten Scharzhof in Wiltingen-Scharzhofberger.

Size: approx. 120 ha of productive vineyard area

12 Grand Crus: including Graacher Himmelreich, Piesporter Goldtröpfchen, Trittenheimer Apotheke, Kaseler Nies’chen, Kanzemer Altenberg, Ayler Kupp, Scharzhofberger

Grape Varieties: Riesling (88%), Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc, among others.
