The winery is located in Bernkastel-Kues (Bernkastel area) in the German Moselle wine-growing region. The Bergweiler family was first mentioned in the 15th century. In 1911, the estate of Mathias Prüm (1835-1890) was divided among his children. One of the heirs was Maria Katharina Prüm (1884-1954), who later became the second wife of wine estate owner Zacharias Bergweiler (1861-1934). The estate was inherited by Dr Peter Pauly in 1959. After studying business administration, he trained in vinology in Geisenheim. Travelling to the Napa Valley inspired him to build a modern winery. Through his marriage to Helga Berres, the Peter Nicolay winery was integrated. Since 2006, the business has been run by son Stefan Pauly. Carl Debus is responsible as cellar master.

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
