A bit of background: The Germans and Swiss immigrating to Arkansas settled mainly around Altus, on the Arkansas. The Wiederkehr family was no exception, and they promptly set up shop on St. Mary's Mountain, for its microclimates well-suited for the growing of grapes. They've been going strong (save for the Prohibition years) since 1880. The place is loaded with historical interest - and also with good wines, like Seyval Blanc, Chardonnay, Cynthiana, Red Muscadine, and many more.
The Seyval Blanc is a medium-dry offering, delicate and aromatic; it goes well with seafood and white meats. The Cynthiana is often considered America's best grape for red wines, producing a wine both fragrant and heavy-bodied.
Because of our careful research and our dedication to superior production, we produce premium wines from European grape varieties that consistently rate with the best wines from around the world. Blind tastings in national and international competitions against foreign and other American wines prove Wiederkehr a winner time after time. We invite you to visit the Wiederkehr cellars and vineyards, to dine in our Weinkeller Restaurant, and to taste our wines?judge for yourself.
