The estate used to be part of the cloister Disibodenberg, where Hildegard von Bingen lived in the 12th century and has been owned by the von Racknitz family since 1753. It is now run by Luise von Racknitz-Adams and Matthias Adams who are also the winemakers at this estate in Germany's Nahe region.
The elegant Rieslings from up to 70 year-old vines growing on gray slate, red slate and porphyr, have, above all, a distinct mineral character.
