Weingut Karthauserhof Schieferkristall Riesling Trocken Gutswein
Tasting Note
The Schieferkristall shows the strengths of the region perfectly with low alcohol, cool fruits and lots of minerality. Very fresh with delicate citrus notes, white currants, a hint of lychee with slate and spiciness, light-footed and powerful at the same time. Excellent with simply prepared smoked or cured fish as well as Sushi.
Producer
The Karthäuserhof is a magical place. And not primarily because of its idyllic location.
It is the eighth oldest winery in the world and has been the cradle of world-famous Rieslings for centuries. It was founded in 1335 by Carthusian monks who received the estate as a gift from Elector Baldwin of Luxembourg and ran it as a winery until secularization. The Karthäuserhof has been owned by the family since 1811, now in its seventh generation. Mathieu Kauffmann, Technical Director and Alsatian native is responsible for the vineyard care and vinification of the wine and his belief in an ecological approach to farming is going to shape the philosophy of Karthauserhof into the future.
