Nestled among stunning almond, chestnut, fig, and kiwi groves, the Julius Ferdinand Kimich Winery is located in Deidesheim, a picturesque area of the Pfalz wine region. This family-owned winery has been dedicated to producing high-quality Riesling wines for nine generations. The vineyards span the renowned winegrowing areas of Deidesheim, Forst, and Ruppertsberg, benefiting from fertile soils and a diverse microclimate that ensures optimal grape ripening.
Today, the ninth generation of the Kimich family continues to uphold the winery's rich heritage.
Founded in 1758 by wine cooper Andreas Kimich, the estate has been managed by the Kimich family for five generations. In 1949, Joachim Arnold married into the family and took over the business. Now, Matthias Arnold leads the winery, preserving the family’s legacy while focusing on quality and tradition.
Covering 18 hectares, the vineyards at Julius Ferdinand Kimich are dedicated to sustainable and eco-friendly cultivation methods. The primary focus is on Riesling, celebrated as the queen of white grape varieties in the region. Additionally, the winery produces high-quality Pinot Noir, Gewürztraminer, Sauvignon Blanc, Müller-Thurgau, Rivaner, and Auxerrois, showcasing the diversity of the Pfalz terroir.
Matthias Arnold ages the wines in a historic wine cellar that dates back over 200 years. The fermentation process takes place in stainless steel tanks, followed by maturation in wooden barrels and casks. After several months of aging, the wines are bottled in a dedicated bottling room, ensuring that each vintage reflects the unique character of the vineyard.

Write a reviewA look back at our tasting at Weingut Kimich. After a fascinating tour of the cellar, Matthias Arnold from Weingut Kimich presented us with an impressive wine tasting. The differences between the individual vineyard sites were particularly striking, clearly reflected in the structure, expression, and character of the wines. This was especially evident in the Rieslings, whose diversity Mr. Arnold expertly explained. With his open manner, communicative presentation, and willingness to answer all our questions, he provided us with valuable background information and made the tasting a truly enriching experience. We took some bottles from Weingut Kimich's selection back to Switzerland with us. When we later enjoy them, we fondly remember this visit and the warm encounter with Mr. Arnold. Thank you, Mr. Arnold, for this wonderful experience.
We would like to thank you for a lovely evening with a wine tasting and lots of interesting information about wine growing. We were delighted and would love to come back!

Great winery with a great vineyard hike! Find out a lot of information from and about the Palatinate and, at the end, learn the Palatinate song! Riesling from. Mineral dry... to semi-dry fruity fresh!
