Dr.Crusius, Nahe, Germany

Our family first settled in Traisen in 1576. The old estate buildings, which are still the heart of the Dr. Crusius winery today, were built in 1888. In the 1950s, Hans Crusius transformed what was then a mixed agricultural and winegrowing operation into a wine estate covering 7.5 ha. Today it has grown to 21 ha and is one of Germany’s top wine estates.
