Distillery Information

Weingut Meyer-Näkel is a producer in Dernau in the Ahr region of Germany. It is best known for red wines made from the Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir) wine grape variety, though the portfolio also includes whites and rosé. The estate dates back to the marriage in 1950 of Paula Meyer and Willibald Näkel. They farmed just 1.5 hectares (3.7 acres) of vines, but Willibald gained recognition as a pioneer in the region. As of 2021 the vineyard holdings had grown to 15 hectares of Pinot Noir. The business was managed by Willibald’s son Werner, his wife Claudia and their daughters Meike and Dörte. Sadly, the estate winery was almost completely destroyed in the floods which ravaged the Ahr Valley in 2021. Bottles, barrels, cellar equipment, vehicles and machinery were all lost. The press and tanks were carried many kilometers downriver. Thankfully there were no lives lost here, and the vineyards are relatively undamaged.
