Winery Karthäuserhof
The Karthäuserhof winery in Trier-Eitelsbach was founded in 1335 by monks of the Carthusian order and has been owned by the Tyrell family since 1811. The winery is run by managing director Christoph Horbach and technical director Mathieu Kauffmann. Mainly Riesling and, to a lesser extent, Pinot Blanc are cultivated on around 28 hectares. The vineyards are located on pink-copper-colored clay slate from the Devonian period and are predominantly steep slopes. The Riesling “Eitelsbacher Karthäuserhofberg Spätlese trocken” was favored by the New York Times in 2013 as the best Riesling.
“FAIR’N GREEN gives us the opportunity to work with colleagues to improve sustainability in viticulture and to learn from each other. Viticulture must always be thought about in the long term.”
