Nikolaus Köwerich Winery: A Legacy in Leiwen

Since 1994, Nikolaus Köwerich and his wife Anette have been crafting exceptional wines in the picturesque village of Leiwen along the Moselle River. With a winemaking heritage dating back to 1525, the Köwerich family has deep roots in this region. Their vineyard spans 10 hectares, exclusively dedicated to the Riesling grape, known for its unique flavor profile. Notable wines include “For Fairies and Elves” and “Insight N° 1.”

“And wine to gladden the heart of man” (Psalm 104:15)

The Queen of White Wines

The Moselle region has been home to vineyards for nearly 2,000 years, with Riesling being cultivated since the 15th century. This grape thrives in the Moselle's blue Devonian slate soil, benefiting from a long growing season and sun-drenched slopes. The Köwerich family practices sustainable viticulture, allowing nature to guide their vineyard management, from pruning to harvesting.

Wines for Dreamers and Heroes

The Köwerich winery offers a selection of wines with whimsical names like “Für Feen und Elfen” (For Fairies and Elves) and “Für Träumer und Helden” (For Dreamers and Heroes). Renowned for their fruity and delicate Rieslings, these wines have received accolades from prestigious publications such as Gault&Millau and Falstaff. Whether you are a wine enthusiast or a casual drinker, Köwerich wines promise a delightful experience.

Through a recommendation from our Hotel Richtershof in Mühlheim/Mosel and the good taste of the “dreamers and heroes” we became aware of the friendly Köwerich family and simply drove past. We were spontaneously invited to a tasting, learned a lot about wine and also found our new favorite wine for every occasion: “Fräulein Mosel” - absolutely great!

A winemaker with heart and soul. Thank you for the professional and warm wine tasting that we were able to experience with you. If I could give 10 stars, I would give 20 stars. Unfortunately, only 5 are available.... I only know one thing ??? The kilometers from Switzerland 🇨🇭 were worth it and if it had been twice as far, it is worth the trip.... Thank you very much... Wine is poetry bottled, this applies perfectly to your wines

We experienced a very special kind of hospitality from Annette and Nick Köwerich: a warm welcome, a trip to the Leiwener Laurentiuslay, an incredibly pleasant, informative and also funny evening, which ended with a perfect sunset on the river bend. And first and foremost, in between, in the middle and at the end: the tasting of the extraordinary wines, which made us taste the love, connection and passion for Riesling with every drop. Dear Annette, dear Nick, that was extraordinary. Thank you very much!
