AboutMönchhof
Winegrowing at Mönchhof in Ürzig is documented to 1177, when Pope Alexander the Third confirmed vineyard ownership by the Cistercian Abbey of Himmerod. The vaulted cellar survives from the monastic period, while the present estate building dates to 1509. Its Riesling comes from steep, slate-rich Mosel vineyards including Ürziger Würzgarten and Erdener Prälat.
