Vineyard

The 28.1 hectares large steep slope is Wiltingen north of the road L 138 on a hillside facing south. The incline ranges from 30 to 60 percent. The soil consists of weathered slate with a very high proportion of rock and iron-containing, clayey components. The site is exclusively planted with Riesling .

The Scharzhofberg heard as a great location to the "quality German vineyards" of the VDP and is designed for large crops of Bernkasteler ring admitted. The single location Scharzhofberg is to be distinguished from the large location Scharzberg. The Scharzhofberg is one of the most famous locations in Germany and can therefore do without the place name on the label. The wine labels are named Scharzhofberger .

history

1030 bequeathed Propst Adalbero Trier Benedictine monastery of St. Mary the Martyrs good five hides country. In 1239 a wine press house was first mentioned on the Scharzhof (which was demolished in 1905). In 1314 the monastery received four acres of vineyards, probably on the Scharzhofberg. In 1719 the monastery had today's Alter Scharzhof built, a three-wing baroque complex with outbuildings.

The Trier Marienkloster was dissolved under Napoleon , from 1804 to 1807 the monastery church and parts of the monastery were demolished. The Scharzhof had already been auctioned in 1801. The bidder was - on behalf of the previous abbot Placidus Mannebach - the Benedictine father Johann Jakob Koch, pastor of Wiltingen. But Koch married his housekeeper a few years later and drove his former confreres from the winery, which he kept to himself. The Alte Scharzhof was later sold by his daughter Clara, who wanted to make up for her father's breach of celibacy , to the Hohe Domkirche St. Peter zu Trier , which has managed it from the Episcopal wineries to this day. The Neue Scharzhof remained in the possession of the Koch family and passed through inheritance to the Egon Müller family, who still run it today.
