Nestled at the historic Hirschhorner Hof, a former tithe house and ecclesiastical estate acquired in 2002, Weingut John Wein reflects a deep passion for winemaking rooted in tradition. After a thoughtful renovation of the 400-year-old Renaissance building, visitors are invited to explore the estate, where history and modern craftsmanship converge. Since 2003, the family, along with their children Sebastian and Dorothea, has dedicated themselves to producing exceptional wines under the guiding principle of “great wines of old tradition.”

The winery's philosophy centers on utilizing traditional aging methods and meticulous processing techniques to create wines that are both elegant and full of finesse. By hand-picking the best biodynamic grapes, they achieve a harmonious balance of mineral nuances, intensity, and richness. With a commitment to minimal intervention in the cellar and extended aging in wooden barrels, their wines not only offer immediate enjoyment but also promise exceptional aging potential.

Proud advocates of sustainable practices, Weingut John Wein has exclusively used biodynamic grapes since its first vintage, earning Naturland certification in 2006 and DEMETER certification in 2012. At Weingut John Wein, the art of winemaking is celebrated, and visitors are invited to experience the unique character of their wines.
