Eberbach Abbey is a former Cistercian monastery that has been producing wine since the 12th century. The abbey owns the largest wine estate in Germany, with 200 hectares of vineyards in the Rheingau and the Hessian Bergstrasse regions. The abbey is famous for its Riesling wines, especially from the Steinberg domain, which is considered one of the most valuable locations in the world. The abbey also produces Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and other varieties of wine, using natural viticulture and gentle vinification methods. The abbey is a popular tourist attraction, a cultural venue, and a non-profit foundation that preserves and promotes its legacy.
