Welcome to the Fuchs family wine estate
in Floersheim-Dalsheim, Germany
Weingut Fuchs is a traditional German wine estate, owned by the Fuchs family who have been winemakers since 1626.
Located in the south-west of Germany we enjoy a mild and sunny climate, excellent for growing vines. The rich, fertile soil of our region (Rheinhessen and Pfalz) allows us to grow several vines with high level soil requirements.
From working in the vineyards and cellars to marketing the finished product – everything is self-made.
Our grapes are allowed to ripen fully, which along with our wealth of knowledge stemming from many generations of experience, makes our wines rich and flavoursome.
White wines
Our white wines have wonderful bouquets, some of them like Pinot blanc have delicate and discreet flavours, while others like Huxel are fruity, spicy and intense.
Red wines
Our red wines are full-bodied and range from ruby Pinot noirs to deep velvety reds of Dornfelder or Dunkelfelder.
Rosé wines
are also made from our luscious red grapes.
We offer dry and semi-dry wines as well as scrumptious, sweet ones.

Verjuice –
the scrumptious alternative to vinegar and lemon
(omphacium, verjus) is the juice of green grapes, used instead of lemon or vinegar as a flavour enhancing ingredient in cuisine. Its sourness is milder than that of vinegar and its scent much more fragant than that of lemon. Verjuice was well known in ancient Europe and in the Middle Ages as a delicious and healthy cooking ingredient as well as a powerful medicine … more about verjuice
