Karthauserhof, Bruno Riesling Trocken, 2022

What is this wine?

Founded in 1335, Weingut Karthäuserhof is one of Germany’s oldest and most prestigious estates, located in the Ruwer Valley, a cooler tributary of the Mosel. The estate is famed for its monopole vineyard, Karthäuserhofberg, known for steep slate soils that yield Rieslings of precision and minerality. The “Bruno” Riesling Trocken is the estate’s modern, approachable dry wine—named for Bruno Karthäuser, the legendary prior of the Carthusian monastery that founded the estate. Made from estate-grown fruit, it’s fermented in stainless steel to preserve freshness and clarity.
