With the Erbacher Marcobrunn Riesling Großes Gewächs from Kloster Eberbach, the winery ties in with the centuries-old tradition of cabinet cellar wines. A tradition that goes back to the Eberbach Cistern Monks, who in the 12th century carried the demanding Burgundian vine from their homeland, Burgundy, and cultivated it in the Rheingau.

The Eberbach Erbacher Marcobrunn Riesling sparkles in a light straw yellow with golden highlights in the glass. The complex bouquet of this expressive white wine reveals a wonderful aroma of ripe apples, juicy mangoes and pears. Add some passion fruit and subtle woody notes. On the palate, this German white wine has a powerful, gripping body with notes of apples, pears, tropical fruits and a filigree wood insert. The acid is perfectly woven into the body and is supported by a good tension. The finale comes with magnificent length and elegance.
