Weingut Krauss

Weinhaus Krauss was founded in 2009 by Erika and Helmut Krauß. It is intended to complement the subsidiaries Zellertaler Keller and Weingut Krauß. The wine house serves the classic specialist wine trade and enriches the list of offerings in direct sales from the farm with wines from the Zellertal. Due to the increased demand, we worked with well-known large and individual locations beyond the borders of the Zellertal. Good wines mature here! We develop our wines according to two aspects: classically, traditionally from old vines and spontaneous fermentation, while we use yeasts that are transferred from the vineyard to the cellar. On the other hand, based on the knowledge of modern cellar technology with tank fermentation in stainless steel containers with controlled and cooled fermentation using pure yeasts that sharpen the aroma profile of the white wines. We develop the red wines using mash fermentation under the influence of heat and cold and the promotion of the grapes' own tannins. Stored in wine tanks for a long time without any added sulfur to promote malolactic fermentation. Or stored in barriques to promote micro-oxidation. The white wines are stored on their fine yeast for a long time in order to maintain their freshness and vitality and to extract the aromas inherent in fermentation. As strict opponents of genetic manipulation, we take great care not to use any genetically manipulated treatment substances in our work. The extensive avoidance of protein-containing substances during winemaking makes our wines vegan wines. From the vine to the bottle, our wines guarantee handcraft at the highest level. To this day, we guarantee consistent top quality from the Palatinate Zellertal and Rheinhessen for every vintage.
