The German Wine Society’s next event will focus on a vertical tasting of 12 Riesling Spätlese wines spanning from 2001 through 2014 produced by Winery Karthäuserhof, the eighth oldest winery in the world. The winery is located in Trier and was founded in 1335, when the estate was gifted to a group of ten Carthusian monks. The order managed the estate until 1803. Following secularization, the winery passed into the hands of the family whose descendants have cultivated the estate for seven generations. The vintages to be tasted all come from the Eitelsbacher Karthäuserhofberg vineyard. This is an unusual event; it is rare to find vertical selections with this depth from such a historic estate. There will also be one Eitelsbacher Karthäuserhofberg Auslese.
