Ferdinand Pieroth
The Pieroth Wein AG Quality Guarantee
Tradition: experts in wine for over 300 years.
The history of the Pieroth family can be traced back to the year 1675. They have been known as vintners since 1705. The company’s head office is still located in their home town of Burg Layen. Over the last 300 years, however, a family wine- growing estate has become a global corporation. And yet the company, now known as Pieroth Wein AG, is still a family firm. With members of the Pieroth family on the Management Board. This reflects the fact that we always take our responsibility to our staff and our customers personally.
Innovative ideas: Pioneers in direct sales.
The real success story of Pieroth Wein AG started a good 50 years ago. Brothers Elmar and Kuno Pieroth revolutionized wine selling at that time by organizing wine tastings in customer's houses. This marked the starting point for direct wine sales, and this business is still the strongest pillar in our company structure. No other company in the wine industry is in closer contact with its customers or knows the needs of wine lovers better than Pieroth Wein AG. We therefore see ourselves, to a large extent, as ambassadors for the culture of wine.
An international corporation: Pieroth Wein AG is active in 8 countries

Today, Pieroth Wein AG is active in 8 countries, including Japan, the UK, Italy and France. In opening up new markets, we thus benefit from our experience in other countries, whilst nonetheless modifying our activities to the needs of the individual markets.

Our annual sales have now reached almost 207 million euro.

Quality assurance: comprehensive from the start.
If a wine is produced by us, we monitor production from the very start. Strict quality standards apply even in the vineyard and later during the preparation of the wine. Wines that we buy in are also carefully monitored. Samples are subjected to a sensory evaluation and laboratory testing. Later, when the product arrives here, we carry out analyzes to check that the wine matches the sample. Even the tiniest deviation means that the wine is rejected. Our laboratory, with its five staff, carries out some1,000's of analyzes every year, thus ensuring outstanding product quality. In addition, our own quality assurance system also ensures that our stocks are regularly quality-monitored. The entire technical division, from wine buying to storage, is certified under DIN EN ISO 9001:1000. This certification is subject to revision annually. In addition, the State Wine Control Authority regularly checks that we comply with the provisions of the law. The issue of the official test number for individual wines is also subject to strict rules.
Pieroth Wein AG - more than a trading company: holdings in wine estates and wine producers around the world.
Many of our wines are bottled in our own modern cellars in Langenlonsheim - about 18 million bottles a year, in fact. And so we know precisely what goes into the bottle. In Hungary, we have built our own wine cellars where the grapes from around 300 vintners who work to our strict standards are turned into wine. Our chief oenologist spends several weeks there each year specially for this purpose.
