Dear Wine Friend,
thank you for visiting our website and your interest in the "Bacchus Speicher"
Founded only a few years ago by the oenologist Antonie Pietsch - with the invaluable assistance of her husband Andreas Pietsch - "Bacchus Speicher" can proudly say it: ours is to be the youngest winery in Kostheim!
Opening Hours
We are open on Saturdays from 12-4pm.
You are also more than welcome to contact us and arrange an appointment to visit our winery.
History
Originally "Bacchus Speicher" was an old water reservoir, that was constructed around 1900 to provide the community of Kostheim with water. It`s wonderfully located on top of a larger vineyard hill/slope: a vineyard site called "St. Kiliansberg". The largest part of the building is invisible from outside, because it is a large cellar underground. The function of the cellar was to store water - but during the last decades it was not used any more, because the water was pumped directly to the households.
With its location in the midst of the vineyards and constantly cool temperatures it`s an ideal place to store and produce wine.
The Name
Bacchus [ba:kous] was the Roman god of wine. As it was the Romans who first brought wine culture into our region 2000 years ago we use "Bacchus" in combination with the German word "Raum" [spisha:] (storage room) to name our wine estate.
