The Strauss wine estate started in 1810 under the name “Schopper”. In 1948, Karl and Johanna Strauss took over the business, which their son Karl, who graduated from the Fruit and Wine Growing College in Silberberg with great distinction, carried on. Karl’s two sons Karl jun. and Gustav play an active and successful role in the business. Karl jun. is a business graduate and is responsible for logistics and administration. Gustav, having studied at the college in Silberberg like his father, and now a master winegrower, oversees the vineyards and winery, a function he performs with great flair and success.
