Pforta Monastery Choppen Quality Wine Dry

Kloster Pforta – behind this name lies one of the oldest wine histories in Germany. Since 1138, grapes have been growing here on the Saale, first under monks, today under the state winery, which continues their work with the same seriousness. The sites around Pforta are extraordinary: far in the north, on the 51st parallel, where the summers are short and intense. That is exactly what gives the wines their character – clear fruit, lively acidity, a mineral freshness that you recognize immediately.

Whether a Riesling from the Saalhäuser steep slopes or a Pinot Blanc from old vines: Here you can taste what this landscape has to offer. Almost 900 years of experience sound like tradition – and that is also inside. But Kloster Pforta looks ahead.

The winemakers know their soils inside out and give the grapes the time they need. The result is wines that can surprise you, precisely because they come from a region that many still have to discover.
