Karthäuserhof

Producer description of "Karthäuserhof"

The traditional winery is located in the municipality of Trier-Eitelsbach (Ruwer area) in the German Moselle wine region. The Carthusian monks who gave it its name received it as a gift in 1335 from the Elector Balduin of Luxembourg (1285-1354) and practised agriculture and viticulture there in the Middle Ages. In the course of secularisation, it first came into the possession of the French state in 1803 and was purchased at auction by Valentin Leonardy in 1811. Through marriage it became the property of the Rautenstrauch family and later the Tyrell family. Christoph Tyrell took over the business in 1986 in the sixth generation and laid the foundation stone for a new rise with his administrator Ludwig Breiling. Today the winery is owned by his cousin Albert Behler. Julia Lübcke is the managing director and Sascha Dannhäuser the cellar master.

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
