The Story of
Karthäuserhof
The Karthäuserhof is a magical place. And not primarily because of its idyllic location. It is the eighth oldest winery in the world and has been the cradle of world-famous Rieslings for centuries. It was founded in 1335 by Carthusian monks who received the estate as a gift from Elector Baldwin of Luxembourg and ran it as a winery until secularization. The Karthäuserhof has been owned by our family since 1811, now in its seventh generation.
OUR CRAFT
We make terroir Wines.
Vintage after vintage.
The reason for the exceptional quality of the wines from the Karthäuserhof is the legendary Karthäuserhofberg location, at the foot of which the winery is located. Its unique "terroir" - the interplay of soil, microclimate and other characteristics both natural and man-made - creates wines of incomparable character and immense aging potential that enchant wine lovers around the globe.
