We promise you this in every bottle

Our wines come from the Ruwer Valley, a side valley of the Moselle, characterized by slate soils and a unique cool microclimate. We carefully pick and select our grapes by hand and work with only the best grapes to minimize yields. Our vineyards are cultivated according to biodynamic principles and the wines are produced in a purist manner. Sustainability, a sense of responsibility and fair cooperation are our top priorities.

Schieferkristall Riesling 2020

Gutswein with enormous aging potential

Our Schieferkristall skilfully combines the strengths of the region: low alcohol, cool fruit and plenty of minerality. Very fresh, cool nose with delicate citrus notes, white currants, a little lychee, plus a clear slate and spontaneous spice, light-footed like a ballerina but powerful like a punch from Bruce Lee. Our estate wine shows extraordinary aging potential with plenty of depth and potential.

Classification & Origin
VDP Gutswein

The grapes come predominantly from the Karthäuserhofberg, but also deliberately from Mertesdorf and Waldrach, in order to bring together the complete spectrum of the different terroirs of the Karthäuserhof in the only Gutswein.

THE SCHIEFERKRISTALL

In the words of the technical director:

2020 was a year with a warm summer, which is why our Schieferkristall from this year shows a beautiful creaminess and smoothness.

Speiseempfehlung Wein Schieferkristall Riesling Fisch

food recommendation

hamachi (raw), sushi, steamed fish

The Schieferkristall impresses with its lively freshness and distinctive citrus aromas, which go perfectly with raw hamachi and sushi. The well-integrated acidity and the fine peppery finish harmonize perfectly with steamed fish and emphasize its delicate aromas.

Karthäuserhof Etikett Eitelsbach

trademark

A globally unique trademark

The Eitelsbach stream runs through the garden in front of our main house, where Willhelm and Kathinka Rautenstrauch spent cool breaks in hot summers in the 19th century. To cool the Karthäuserhof wines, they put the bottles in the cold stream. But the labels came off and floated away. This is how Wilhelm Rautenstrauch invented our unmistakable neck label and a trademark that is unique worldwide.

Karthäuserhof Weinberg

vineyards of immeasurable value

Das macht
den Karthäuserhofberg so legendär

Our monopol vineyard, the Karthäuserhofberg, is considered one of the most traditional and fascinating vineyards in Germany. The steep southwest slope of the Karthäuserhofberg in the Ruwer Valley ensures optimal sunlight and a special microclimate. The mineral-rich slate soil gives the wines an unmistakable finesse and elegance that reflects the terroir of the Karthäuserhofberg. Wine has been grown here for over 1000 years. This long history and the accumulated knowledge shape every wine that is produced here. The combination of these two grape varieties in the special location in particular ensures wines of great complexity, freshness and longevity.
