Monchhof Robert Eymael Riesling Estate 2018

The monchhof estate dates at least as far back as the 12th century as evidenced by a document still in the eymael family’s possession signed by pope alexander iii showing the cloister himmerod–a cistercian abbey–having vineyard holdings in urzig as early as 1177. And the wines have been popular for a long time too.

At the chicago world’s fair in 1893 monchhof won medals for their wines. These days the wines reflect the personality of the estate’s proprietor robert eymael: easy to like with a sense of style and simple sophistication.
