TRADITIONAL
When the French revolution
started to change the world
in 1789, before Germany even
existed, Franz Wilhelm Langguth
founded a wine-trading
company in Traben-Trarbach.
Just like the Moselle region is
one of Germany's oldest winegrowing
regions, Langguth is
one of Germany's oldest wineries.
The step from trader
to wine producing company
took place during the expansion
period.

REGION
Back in 1789, when Franz Wilhelm Langguth founded the
wine house in Traben-Trarbach on the banks of the Moselle
River, nobody would have thought that this charming town
would soon have the same importance in wine trading as
Bordeaux in France. Today based in the heart of Europe, the
F.W. Langguth Erben winery with its own steep sloped vineyards
along the Moselle valleys cultivates wines mainly
in the famous German wine regions of Rheinhessen, Pfalz
and Moselle.

PHILOSOPHY
From its humble beginnings, the F.W. Langguth
Erben winery became one of Germany’s
biggest wine producers during the 19th century,
and is now one of Europe’s leading companies.
Through the last decades Wolfgang
Langguth has defined and lived the company’s
philosophy of winemaking and brand
innovation: Delivering top quality wine to
customers worldwide while maintaining
brand traditions combined with modern,
sustainable wine making technology.

QUALITY
An essential component of the Langguth quality
philosophy is the wine scale stabilisation method.
Langguth has made use of knowledge from human
medicine, i.e. dialysis for purifying the blood. Excess
potassium and calcium ions are removed from the
wine using defined diaphragm processes.
In-depth know-how of modern winemaking is more
important than ever. Highly trained specialists in the
Traben-Trarbach winery ensure top quality wines
with continuously monitoring the production process
and certified hygiene standards. F.W. Langguth Erben
is also an audited producer of organic bio wines, where
strictest standards apply.
