Our responsibilty

In the nine centuries of its existence, Kloster Eberbach has shaped viticulture in the Rheingau and far beyond. We take responsibility for this heritage: we practise vineyard management that is close to nature and completely refrain from using insecticides.

Wine Assortment

Our assortment of wines includes Riesling, Spät-, Weiß- and Grauburgunder grape varieties. Based on the guidelines of the Association of Distinguished German Wine Estates (VDP), we differentiate between "Cabinetkeller", "Crescentia", and local and estate wines.

VDP.GROSSE LAGE®

Handpicked premium wines

"Estate bottling from the cabinet cellar" on the label stands for wines with unique quality standards. Even in the past, these wines were among the most valuable of their time. Only grapes from the most valuable parcels of the best sites of the Rheingau are processed. The harvest is done by hand. In our cabinet cellars, the wines are carefully vinified and then matured into dry and noble sweet top wines. The cabinet cellars are located in our Assmannshausen and Steinberg domains .

Rare wines from valuable single vineyards

The yield of our "Crescentia" wines is very limited. The grapes come from valuable single vineyard sites and clearly reflect the vineyard's character. They are also harvested by hand.

The spectrum of the wines ranges from subtle to intense fruit aromas, a fine to strong spiciness as well as an elegant to pronounced minerality. The focus of the wines is always on a modern and fresh note.

Local Wines with Character

Our local wines grow in high-quality, characterful and traditional vineyards within a village. Only regional grape varieties produce wines that reflect and express the local terroir.

Wines Typical of the Region

Estate wines are traditional and typical of their region. As the winery's business card, they present our philosophy and signature. They are often the first wines of a wine year to be bottled and sold - and thus the trendsetters of the new vintage. They come from our own vineyards in the Rheingau and the Hessische Bergstraße.

GOLDENER BECHER Steinberg Riesling GG

The Steinberg has been the sole property of the Eberbach monastery since 1239. Its soils are characterised by Taunus slate, loess-loam and quartzite and are sometimes decisive for the expressive character of the wine.

Assmannshäuser Im Höllenberg Spätburgunder

“Höllenberg” is derived from the Old High German word “helda” (meaning “steep slope”). This plot, “Im Höllenberg,” is the original plot of Höllenberg, which gave the entire vineyard its name. The plots are located in the valley facing away from the Rhine, with a pure south-facing orientation.
