The legendary Karthäuserhof estate is a place of fairy tales. Overlooking the sublime Ruwer valley, we are the eighth oldest winegrowing estate in the world. Officially founded as a monastery in 1335, this “Farm of the Carthusians” was given as a gift to the monks of the Carthusian order by Prince-Elector Balduin of Luxembourg. Incredibly, since 1811, the Karthäuserhof has been owned by a seven generations of our family.

Germanys highly regarded wineguide Gault&Millau has awarded the price of the “Rising star” (“Aufsteiger des Jahres”) in its 2019 edition to Albert Behler and the Karthäuserhof estate in Trier-Eitelsbach. The wines sent in for the jury tastings have convinced the jury to choose the well-established VDP estate from the Ruwer valley for this prestigious award.

On our tour to restaurants that serve our BRUT, Kevin hat the pleasure of meeting Kirill Kinfelt, Jana Kinfelt and Max Wilm, at „kinfelt‘s“ @kinfelts . Here you can enjoy our Karthäuserhof BRUT by the glass! It is a joy to witness our craftmanship come to life in such fine company.

Only 4 days left until the launch of our Karthäuserhof BRUT.

This sparkling wine is made from three sites around the winery, each with its own role to play: The Eitelsbacher Karthäuserhofberg, which is home to Riesling and Pinot Blanc, provides depth and structure. The Mertesdorf vineyards, on the other hand, provide finesse and elegance. The Karthäuserhof Brut owes its captivating freshness to the cool vineyards in Waldrach.

Our oak barrels play a crucial role in the winemaking process, enhancing the intricate flavors of our dry Ruwer wines. They add complexity through gentle micro-oxygenation and extended aging on the lees, refining the wines’ character.
