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.

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
