Andreas Bickelmaier

Today

Today, Andreas Bickelmaier is winzer und inhaber of Weingut Bickelmaier, a position that combines hands-on vineyard work with ownership of the estate’s public face. That dual role places him in the routine of production and in the management of events, where the house’s own language is straightforward: "We are happy to accept reservations for our events." It is the kind of phrasing that signals a winery built to receive people as well as to make wine. The clearest statement of the estate’s outlook comes in another line from Andreas Bickelmaier: "Here, wine is a matter of the heart." The phrase is direct, and it sets the tone for the house without dressing it up. Wine is presented as something held personally, not merely handled professionally, which gives Weingut Bickelmaier its center of gravity: care, commitment, and the expectation that the work should be felt in the glass. At Weingut Bickelmaier in Oestrich-Winkel, Germany, Andreas Bickelmaier is the figure through whom the estate’s character is read. His own words point to two parts of the craft that often sit together but are not the same: the practical welcome of reservations for events, and the more private conviction behind the claim that wine is a matter of the heart. The result is a house that presents itself through both service and conviction.

In Their Words “We are happy to accept reservations for our events.” “Here, wine is a matter of the heart.”
