The short report on the August Anheuser wineryties in directly with the story of your previous topic "Anheuser & Fehrs", as this winery is the direct successor to the long-established company:

📜 A long tradition on the Nahe

  • Foundation and family: The foundation stone was laid in 1869 by August Anheuser senior together with the wine merchant Adolf Fehrs. The winery stands for a great Kreuznach wine tradition and was owned by the family for generations.

  • International connections: The family emigrated to America and founded what would later become the world's largest brewery, Anheuser-Busch. August Anheuser junior utilised this connection from 1905 to successfully export wine to the USA.

  • Economic change: After the estate was severely damaged by an air raid in 1945 and taken over by August Egon Anheuser, it was sold in 1994. The long-serving cellar master initially remained, but the company is now run in a new form.

🍇 Vineyards, grape varieties & specialities

  • Vineyards and soils: The vineyards cover over 50 hectares in the best locations (including Krötenpfuhl, Narrenkappe) around Bad Kreuznach. The soils are varied, ranging from porphyry to sandstone and gravel.

  • Grape varieties: 70% of the focus is on the royal grape Riesling, supplemented by varieties such as Silvaner and Müller-Thurgau.

  • Famous wines: The winery is known for its long-lasting, elegant wines, especially noble sweet rarities such as Trockenbeerenauslesen and ice wines.

  • Speciality: The company label is adorned with the Anheuser family coat of arms dating back to 1627.
