The vineyards were transferred to the Benedictine monastery of St. Maximin in Trier as early as \u003cb\u003e966\u003c\/b\u003e , and the von Schubert family has managed the estate since the 19th century. The three historic monopoly vineyards \u003cb\u003eof Bruderberg, Abtsberg, and Herrenberg\u003c\/b\u003e continue to shape the winery's profile. The \u003cb\u003eHerrenberg\u003c\/b\u003e covers approximately 19 hectares, is somewhat cooler and less steep than the Abtsberg, and is characterized by \u003cb\u003ered Devonian slate\u003c\/b\u003e . The wines are considered juicy, flavorful, and, compared to the Abtsberg Rieslings, often accessible early, yet also possess considerable aging potential.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Roboto;\"\u003eExpansion:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Roboto;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Roboto;\"\u003eThe grapes for the Herrenberg Kabinett are \u003cb\u003ecarefully selected and hand-picked\u003c\/b\u003e .

The wine is aged using a reductive method and without fining to preserve the typical \u003cb\u003eRuwer freshness and minerality\u003c\/b\u003e .
