What is this wine?
Karthäuserhof’s Riesling Karthäuserhofberg Grosses Gewächs 2022 is a dry, single-vineyard Riesling from the estate’s historic monopole, the Karthäuserhofberg, in the Ruwer Valley of the Mosel. This Grand Cru–level site, planted on steep slopes of blue Devonian slate, has been producing world-class Riesling since the 14th century. The grapes are hand-harvested from the oldest vines, fermented with indigenous yeasts, and aged on fine lees in stainless steel to preserve purity and tension.

When should you drink this wine?
