2018 Karthäuserhofberg Selection No. 72

An Auslese, with its opulent fruit and delicate sweetness, creates an impressive interplay with desserts like crème brûlée or mille-feuille, whose subtle sweetness and creamy textures are balanced by the wine's lively acidity. Even robust blue cheese finds an exciting counterpart in the Auslese, as its fruitiness and sweetness harmoniously capture its spicy intensity. Equally appealing is the combination with an exotic fruit salad, whose fresh aromas echo the wine's richness while simultaneously providing a refreshing contrast.

Our monopoly location, 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.
