Dominik remembers the vintage of 2023.

In the words of the operation manager

When Dominik thinks back to the 2023 vintage, he thinks primarily of a year full of extremes – and of a team that mastered these challenges with great care and dedication. Winter and spring were characterized by exceptionally high rainfall. Between January and February, it hardly ever seemed to stay dry – a strain on the soil, but also on vineyard planning. Then came the sudden change: Summer was extremely dry. Hardly any rain, but long periods of heat – a challenge for both vines and people. Autumn finally brought heavy rainfall again – right at harvest time. This made the selective hand-harvesting, which the team carried out with the utmost precision, all the more important. Only the best, healthiest grapes made it to the cellar. Every plot was checked multiple times, every decision made with care. The result: Wonderful, precise, and elegant wines from the 2023 vintage.

food recommendation in detail

Cod ceviche, green asparagus with lemon zest, vitello tonnato

Our 2023 Schieferkristall loves freshness on the plate. With cod ceviche, it dances with lime and coriander, while with green asparagus and lemon zest, it brings its slate minerality to the fore – salty, crisp, vibrant. And with vitello tonnato with capers and a citrus twist, it demonstrates how well elegance and character can coexist. A wine that doesn't need to be loud to make an impression.

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

locations of immeasurable value

That makes
the Karthäuserhofberg so legendary

Our monopoly site, 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.
