The appellation of origin Schloss Reichartshausen is solely owned by Balthasar Ress. It belonged to the Cistercian monastery Kloster Eberbach from the early 12th century and until the early 19th century was one of the monastery's important outlying properties. Today, it is home to the renowned European Business School.

In carrying on the great tradition of Kloster Eberbach, Balthasar Ress cultivates only Riesling vines here, which - thanks to the soil structure - yield very racy wines with a pronounced acidity.
