Pieroth Heritage Line

The Pieroth Heritage line stands for a special selection of wines from German growing regions with a long tradition in our house. The tradition is based on the origins of the Pieroth family in the wine-growing region on the Nahe, dating back to 1675.

The development from a family winery to an international wine trade started in the 1920s under Ferdinand Pieroth and was especially promoted from the 1950s on by Elmar and Kuno Pieroth in many countries.

German quality and Prädikat wines with a predominantly fruity style and sometimes pronounced sweetness have always been very popular with our customers. The wines of the Pieroth Heritage line correspond to this wine style and also the labels continue the tradition with details of historical Pieroth labels.

The Heritage line is composed of two different editions: Pieroth Blue and Pieroth Tradition.

Pieroth Blue Line

The Pieroth Blue Edition occupies a special role in the Heritage Line. The unique blue bottle reflects an interesting historical aspect of the Nahe – the home region of Pieroth. During times when the glass was formed locally, the bottles took on a bluish-green colour. This was due to the mineral element in the local sand – primarily Cobalt. This unusual glass colour gave the wine bottles of the Nah region a differentiating feature even back then.

Pieroth embraced the idea in 1976, commissioning a royal blue bottle that has become a classic and a symbol of Pieroth in many countries.
