The winery is located in the municipality of Binzen (Markgräflerland area) in the German wine-growing region of Baden. It was founded in 1805 by Johann Jakob Krebs. Since 2023, the winery has been run by the seventh generation of the family, Maximilian Krebs, together with his parents. After gaining practical experience at other wineries, Maximilian Krebs trained as a viticulture technician for wine and fruit growing in Weinsberg. The vineyards cover eight hectares of vines in the single vineyard Sonnhohle (Binzen). They are planted with the red wine varieties Pinot Noir and Dornfelder, as well as the white wine varieties Gutedel (Chasselas), Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay and Müller-Thurgau. Great importance is attached to the preservation and use of natural resources in the cultivation.
For my many years of work as an editor with a wine and culinary focus, I always like to inform myself about special questions at Wine lexicon. Spontaneous reading and following links often leads to exciting discoveries in the wide world of wine.
