About us

The Wein- und Sektkellerei Jakob Gerhardt Nierstein is a traditional company in the wine industry, founded in 1751 as a family winery. The wine-growing estate cultivates 75 hectares of its own vineyards in Nierstein, Oppenheim and Dienheim with 35 grape varieties, including four own breeds with EU variety protection (Cumdeo Blanc, Jakob Gerhardt Blanc, Cumdeo Rouge, Alegrillo Negro).

The range includes Rheinhessen wines from top vineyard sites, sparkling wine, spirits, delicacies as well as selected imported wines from Europe and overseas.
