What is this wine?
Karthäuserhof’s Riesling Schieferkristall Trocken 2021 is a dry Riesling from the estate’s historic monopole vineyard, the Karthäuserhofberg, in the Ruwer Valley, part of Germany’s Mosel region. Founded as a Carthusian monastery in 1335, Karthäuserhof is one of Germany’s oldest wine estates, known for crystalline, terroir-driven Rieslings grown on steep, slate-rich soils. Schieferkristall (“slate crystal”) is sourced from younger vines and fermented with native yeasts, emphasizing purity and minerality.

Why get this wine?
Karthäuserhof is revered for its precision and timeless style—focused, mineral, and utterly classic. The 2021 vintage is outstanding for Mosel Riesling, yielding wines of vivid acidity, fine structure, and transparency. Schieferkristall Trocken delivers estate pedigree and Ruwer elegance at an accessible price, offering a perfect introduction to Germany’s great dry Rieslings.

What does this wine taste like?
Aromas of lime, green apple, and white flowers lead to notes of slate, herbs, and a touch of grapefruit zest. The palate is taut and racy, with bright acidity and a long, stony, saline finish. Dry, precise, and beautifully refreshing.

When should you drink this wine?
Enjoy now through 2030. Serve chilled alongside shellfish, sushi, or light vegetarian dishes. Its minerality also makes it an excellent match for fresh goat cheese.

German Wines

Is there a better grape than Riesling? Is there a better value? Its fruit purity, its perfume, and its mineral nuance are all unparalleled. And for centuries, the top German Rieslings were priced accordingly: at least as expensive as the top red wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy. But nowadays you could spend a lifetime exploring Germany’s great Riesling-producing regions while staying well within your budget. You might take an occasional break to try Germany’s other white grapes or perhaps a glass of Spätburgunder (the local name for Pinot Noir). It’s time to get started!
