| Hessische Staatsweingüter Kloster Eberbach Producer website
Kloster Eberbach (formal name “Hessische Staatsweingüter Kloster Eberbach”) is a large German wine producer owned by the federal state of Hessen, holding vineyards in the wine regions Rheingau and Hessische Bergstrasse.
Its origins were in the wine operations of the Cistercian monks along the Rhine, centred at the Eberbach monastery (founded 1136).
Their vineyards are divided between three domains and wine cellars: white Rheingau wines at Steinberg (with a new winery from 2008), red Rheingau wines at Assmannshausen and Bergstraße wines at Bergstraße.
The wines are divided between three quality levels:
“Gutsweine” - Basic wines, with grape variety and region designation but no vineyard designation.
“Crescentia” - High-quality, mainly single vineyard wines below the highest (Cabinetkeller) level. Both dry and semi-dry. Classified as Qualitätswein, Kabinett or Spätlese.
“Cabinetkeller” - the best dry and sweet wines of Auslese or higher quality.
Riesling Varietal character (Appellation America) | A short history of Riesling (Uncork) | Riesling (wikipedia)SteinbergerLagenbeschreibung:
Der Steinberg ist geschichtlich auf das engste mit Kloster Eberbach verbunden. Bis 1170 konnte durch gezielte Zukäufe die Gesamtlage erworben werden. Aus dieser Zeit stammt auch die Ummauerung, die 1766 zum Schutz vor Traubendieben zu einer fast 3 km langen Mauer rund um den Weinberg erweitert wurde. Diese gibt ihm seither eine klimatische Sonderstellung.
Der Hang des Steinbergs ist nach Süden bis Südwesten ausgerichtet.. Die Mauer um den Steinberg schützt die Lage vor dem Einsickern von Kaltluft.
Boden:
Er weist einen mittel- bis tiefgründigen, skelettreichen, frischen Boden auf. Dieser setzt sich im unteren Teil aus sandigem bis tonigem Lehm und im oberen aus steinig - grusigen Schieferböden zusammen.

#2014 Vintage Notes:
2014 Vintage Report by Terry Theise
2014 Vintage Report by Wine Spectator
"My gut still tells me the Saar (and to some extent) the Ruwer are better overall in 2014 than the more storied areas of the Mosel proper, but those that spent the requisite time living in their middle-Mosel vineyards made some of the most electric and "feathery" Riesling in a long time (maybe the finest in 20 years - yes, it's true!)" - Jon Rimmerman (Of course only a very short historical memory would call the Saar and Ruwer less 'storied' than the middle Mosel - jht)Rheingau VDP Rheingau (Official site) | The Rheingau (Wines of Germany) | Wikipedia about The Rheingau
On weinlagen.info
The small but fine wine-growing area Rheingau offers one for the culture of the vine ideal microclimate and best soil conditions. The Rhine runs uninterruptedly almost one thousand kilometres from Basel up to its muzzle into the North Sea, in a northerly direction. With a short exception - the Rheingau. The Rheingau mountains force the river to a change in direction here. The vineyards falling in this region to the south stretch really to the sun. The king of the white wines, the Riesling, finds ideal local conditions for the unfolding of his fine fruity and elegant type of vine character on the multilayered weathering grounds with loess, loam and sand additions. |
