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 2021

Gutsweine with enormous ageing potential

The nose of Schieferkristall 2021 is initially dominated by lemon and lime. There are also typical notes of herbs and fennel. On the palate, the animating acidity creates an arc of tension. The wine is incredibly crisp and yet has a pleasant, almost rich mellowness from the long ageing on the lees. The finish is characterized by the freshness of the Ruwer valley and the peppery spiciness of the slate.

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:

2021 Schieferkristall is the expression of a typical Ruwer Riesling, with clarity and minerality.

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 fine peppery finish harmonize ideally with steamed fish and emphasize its delicate aromas.

Karthäuserhof Etikett Eitelsbach

Trademark

A 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 back in the 19th century. To cool the Karthäuserhof wines, they placed the bottles in the cold stream. However, the labels came loose and floated away. This is how Wilhelm Rautenstrauch invented our unmistakable neck label and a globally unique trademark.

Karthäuserhof Weinberg

Wineyards of immeasurable value

Das macht
den Karthäuserhofberg so legendär

Our monopole vineyard, the Karthäuserhofberg, is one of the most historal and fascinating vineyards in Germany. The steep south-western slope of the Karthäuserhofberg in the Ruwer Valley provides optimal sunlight and a special microclimate. The mineral-rich slate soil characterizes the wines with an unmistakable finesse and elegance that reflect the terroir of the Karthäuserhofberg. Viticulture has been practiced here for over 1000 years. This long history and the accumulated knowledge characterize every wine that is produced here. In particular, the combination of these two grape varieties in this special location produces wines of great complexity, freshness and longevity.
