For me, it was clear that I could only continue winegrowing if I switched to organic viticulture. Since 2013, I have therefore stopped using fungicides, herbicides and artificial fertilisers and work according to the guidelines of organic viticulture.
We select the grapes throughout the entire growth and ripening phase in order to obtain only healthy and optimally ripened grapes. Although this reduces the total quantity, the quality of the grapes improves considerably.

In the cellar, I can carry out very ‘natural’, minimal processing and offer the must good starting conditions for fermentation without the use of technology.
The wines are not fined, are unfiltered and only minimally sulphured. This results in wines with a natural character typical of their vintage.

Johann Jakob Joachim (born 1713) already owned a farm in Mörzheim. Winegrowing was already part of a family business in the region back then. My father reorganised the business in the 1970s. He converted the previous mixed operation of viticulture, arable farming and livestock farming into a pure wine-growing operation.

My parents, Margit and Richard, ran the winery in the family tradition until 2003. My brother Thomas and I moved away from the Palatinate to study in the 1990s. This interrupted the family tradition for a while. I moved to Berlin in 1998 to work as a graphic designer. In 2013, a small vineyard that my father continued to cultivate became the starting point for making a wine according to my ideas.
