Winemaker Notes 
The Estate Riesling is a typical elegant Mosel Riesling with flavours of citrus and peach in combination with a nice minerality. The fresh and elegant acidity shows a perfect balance to the sweetness. This wine was grown in the vineyards around Ürzig at steep slopes. The slate soil charges the sun heat during the day and passes it to the vine during the night-time. The grapes are hand-picked and afterwards directly pressed after the arrival at the estate. This wine suits perfectly as companion for seafood and also spicy dishes that are balanced perfectly due to the sweetness. Furthermore it is a nice aperitif on the terrace.
 
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.
