Buy or order Dr. Crusius wine

Deeply rooted in the German wine region of Nahe, the Dr. Crusius winery boasts an impressive history dating back to 1576. Led by the fourteenth generation, under the inspiring leadership of oenologist Rebecca Crusius, this winery combines traditional values ​​with innovative winemaking techniques. The family business, in which Peter and Birgitta also play an active role, has developed over the centuries into one of the region's leading producers. Dr. Crusius is renowned for its ability to produce wines that perfectly reflect the unique characteristics of the Nahe terroir—a complex blend of volcanic soils and diverse microclimates. These wines, often described as both fresh and powerful, display a delicate balance characteristic of the Nahe, situated between the Mosel, Rheinhessen, and Rheingau regions.

Terroir and Expression in every Bottle

Dr. Crusius's 30 hectares of vineyards, majestically situated around the towns of Traisen and Schlossböckelheim, benefit from a unique geological composition rich in porphyry rhyolite. This volcanic rock contributes to the development of wines with deep mineral notes and complex flavor profiles. The winery manages some of the region's most acclaimed vineyards, including Steinberg, Kupfergrube, and Bastei, all of which have received the highest classification of Grosse Lage. The wines from the Kupfergrube vineyard are known for their savory, spicy characteristics, while the Bastei vineyard produces wines that are powerful and exotic. The specific location of these vineyards, at the foot of the imposing Rotenfels rock massif, not only provides spectacular views but also ensures optimal ripening of the grapes.

Commitment to Quality and Sustainability

As a member of the prestigious VDP (Association of German Premium Wineries), Dr. Crusius maintains strict standards in both the vineyard and the cellar, resulting in wines of exceptional quality. The commitment to sustainability and organic practices reflects the winery's philosophy of working in harmony with nature. This commitment to ecological integrity not only ensures healthier vines but also enhances the expression of terroir in their wines. The combination of advanced training, such as that of Rebecca Crusius at the University of Geisenheim, and the family's extensive experience ensures continuous innovation in crafting wines that both embody the spirit of the Nahe region and delight the senses.
