Production and refinement

From a south-southwest facing vineyard well protected from the winds, with a medium-deep soil, rich in skeleton (sandy-clay and slate-rich in the upper part) and excellent drainage.

After the harvest, the grapes are quickly transported to the winery, where they are selected and gently pressed. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. After fermentation, the Riesling continues to mature on the lees for several months.

Kloster Eberbach

La storia della cantina Kloster Eberbach è profondamente intrecciata con quella del monastero, risalente al XII secolo. Fondato dai monaci cistercensi francesi che si insediarono nel Rheingau, il monastero di Eberbach ebbe fin dall'inizio un forte legame con la viticoltura. Quella che inizialmente era un'attività destinata al consumo interno del monastero, si trasformò presto in una risorsa economica di grande importanza, contribuendo alla prosperità e al sostentamento della comunità monastica.

La cantina ha scritto la storia della viticoltura della regione. e nel corso dei secoli ha continuato a crescere estendendo le sue proprietà e migliorando continuamente le tecniche di produzione. Oggi, le tenute vinicole di Kloster Eberbach si estendono nel Rheingau e nella Bergstrasse dell'Assia. Qui, la coltivazione delle viti avviene con un profondo rispetto per l'ambiente, utilizzando metodi sostenibili e innovativi, sempre con l'obiettivo di produrre vini e spumanti di altissima qualità, riconosciuti a livello internazionale.

Kloster Eberbach

Nonostante le sfide affrontate nel corso dei suoi 900 anni di storia, Kloster Eberbach ha mantenuto invariati i suoi elevati standard di qualità. Questo impegno si riflette nella cura meticolosa dei vigneti, nella pressatura delicata delle uve, nella vinificazione accurata e nell’identificazione dei dipendenti con la missione della cantina stessa. Il risultato è una gamma di vini che incarnano l'autenticità e la tradizione della Valle del Reno, una qualità che si può assaporare in ogni bicchiere.

La cantina Kloster Eberbach continua quindi a onorare la sua antica tradizione vinicola, offrendo vini che raccontano una storia di passione, dedizione e rispetto per il territorio.

Region and territory

The best region in the world for Riesling production

Rheingau

The best region in the world for Riesling production

Rheingau

The best region in the world for Riesling production

Rheingau

The Rheingau is located west of Frankfurt, along the northern and eastern banks of the Rhine River. It is the best region in the world for the production of Riesling, which is the predominant grape variety here, accounting for 80% of the grapes cultivated.

Rheingau Rieslings are very different from those of Mosel or Palatinate: they are highly aromatic, fruity and floral, round and full-bodied, with less pronounced acidity. The Rheingau also produces extraordinary Auslese, Beerenauslese, and Trockenbeerenauslese wines. Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir) is also grown in the Rheingau, producing red wines with typically spicy and bitter almond aromas.

The favorable climatic conditions and the influence of the Rhine River, which reflects the light and heat of the sun, ensuring more consistent grape ripening, are crucial factors.

Eltville am Rhein

Eltville am Rhein, located in the heart of the renowned Rheingau wine region, is one of the key towns in this exceptional wine territory. It is situated on a narrow strip of land between Wiesbaden and Lorch am Rhein, on the northern bank of the Rhine River. This area is characterized by a microclimate ideal for viticulture, a result of the Rhine River's bend. The geographical features provide optimal conditions for vine cultivation, with protection from cold northern winds provided by the forested Taunus hills and the benefit of warmth reflected from the river’s surface.
