Winery Weingut Oekonomierat Johann Geil I. Erben (Weingut Geil)

The Geil family has been connected to Bechtheim for generations: Georg Geil's purchase of the manor house in 1871 marked the beginning of the local winemaking tradition that would later bring Johann Geil to public attention. Johann promoted local bottling and was awarded the title of Oekonomierat. Today the estate remains family-run and the business continues across multiple generations.

The estate seeks to emphasize the origin of its vineyards and the typicity of its terroirs through meticulous vineyard work and careful winemaking. Production is focused on local varieties, with an approach that combines tradition, artisanal care and openness to modern techniques.

Located in Bechtheim, in the Wonnegau district. The estate's recognized vineyards include Geyersberg, Rosengarten and Hasensprung. The soils of some vineyards consist of loess over a calcareous/carbonate subsoil.

Awards given to individual wines: recognitions such as the Gold award from the Chamber of Agriculture of Rhineland-Palatinate and the DLG Gold Prize for specific labels; the company has also received positive reviews in trade magazines.
