A 14th-generation Nahe estate rooted in Bad Kreuznach since 1627.
About Weingut Paul Anheuser
Weingut Paul Anheuser is a historic family-owned estate in Bad Kreuznach, at the heart of Germany's Nahe wine region, with documented winegrowing dating back to 1627. The Anheuser family is also known internationally: in 1842, family member Eberhard Anheuser emigrated to St. Louis, USA, and later co-founded the Anheuser-Busch brewing company — but Weingut Paul Anheuser in Bad Kreuznach is an entirely separate, wine-focused enterprise still run by the family. Eberhard's nephew Rudolf Anheuser became one of the Nahe's leading viticultural pioneers, championing pure Riesling plantings and early estate bottling. Wikipedia's overview of the Nahe wine region cites the large family-owned Anheuser estate as instrumental, in the years after World War II, in sustaining the reputation of Nahe wine. Today the estate is led by the 14th generation, brothers Rudolf and Paul Christian Anheuser, who farm around 45 hectares across top Nahe sites including Niederhausen, Norheim, Schlossböckelheim, Altenbamberg, Monzingen and Roxheim, including the estate's own monopole parcels Niederhäuser Pfingstweide and Schlossböckelheimer In den Felsen. Riesling accounts for roughly 70% of plantings, grown mostly on steep slopes over the region's varied porphyry and red-sandstone soils, alongside Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Silvaner, Scheurebe, Müller-Thurgau and Dornfelder. The estate manages the full process from vineyard to bottle, gently pressing fruit, fermenting in small oak casks, resting wines on the fine lees, and bottling cold-sterile to preserve freshness.
Who Is This For?
For Riesling lovers who appreciate deep-rooted German wine history and terroir-driven wines from the Nahe's varied soils — and for anyone curious about the surprising link between a historic German winery and the Anheuser-Busch brewing dynasty.
