Winemaker Notes
Spicy notes of red currant, green apple and grapefruit. On the palate, slight fruity sweetness balanced by a refreshing acidity, very quaffable. Even though 2021 was a wet and cold year our excellent vineyards in the Ürziger Würzgarten, Erdener Treppchen and Erdener Prälat have given us ripe, healthy grapes. Also the acid values in our locations were not as high as in other locations of the Mosel. The great strength of the steep slope vineyards is to capture enough heat and sunlight for the vines even in cool years. That is why Würzgarten, Treppchen and Prälat have been considered Grand Crus of the Mosel for centuries.
About Monchhof
The Mönchhof ("House of Monks") estate is mentioned first as belonging of the Cistercian abbey of Himmerod in the Eifel in 1177. 1804, after the Secularisation under Napoleon the Eymael family bought the estate on an auction in Paris from the French state. The Mönchhof's top-sites Ürziger Würzgarten, Erdener Prälat, and Erdener Treppchen are planted to 100% Riesling with mostly original European rootstocks. Many of the wines are up to 120 years-old producing some of the finest berries.
