Weingut Bietighöfer – Southern Palatinate (Pfalz), Germany

Weingut Bietighöfer, located in the southern Palatinate, is a family-run estate led by Stefan Bietighöfer. The winery is Demeter-certified and follows biodynamic principles, focusing on healthy soils, balanced vines, and expressive wines with a clear sense of origin.

The estate focuses on Burgundian varieties such as Weißburgunder (Pinot Blanc), Chardonnay, and Grauburgunder (Pinot Gris), Pinot Noir as well as Sauvignon Blanc. These varieties thrive on the region’s calcareous soils and benefit from a warm climate combined with cool nighttime temperatures, resulting in wines with elegance, structure, and freshness.

Work in the vineyard is carried out by hand with low yields to ensure high-quality fruit. In the cellar, the philosophy is minimal intervention: spontaneous fermentation, aging in 500L tonneaux, and extended lees contact. The wines are bottled unfined and unfiltered, with minimal sulfur, to preserve their authenticity and terroir expression.

The wines of Weingut Bietighöfer have received high acclaim from international critics, including strong ratings from James Suckling and Robert Parker (Wine Advocate).

Bietighöfer wines are defined by precision, minerality, and a balance between depth and drinkability.
