Paula Löber, the 2022 Wine Princess of Bad Kösen, was our host. She welcomed us with a Sekt and took us on a vineyard and a cellar tour. We finished the visit with an excellent tasting of Weingut Kloster Pforta wines. All the wines we tasted were bone-dry.

Landesweingut Kloster Pforta in Bad Kösen, Saale-Unstrut
Weingut Kloster Pforta is owned and run by the State Government of
Sachsen Anhalt. It is one of five important wine estates owned by a
state government in Germany. The others are: Hessische Staatsweingueter
Kloster Eberbach (Rheingau and Hessische Bergstrasse), Saechsisches
Staatsweingut Schloss Wackerbarth (Sachsen), Staatliche Hofkellerei
Wuerzburg (Franken) and Staatsweingut Meersburg (Baden).
Its history mirrors German history. Its origins date back to the Pforta
Abbey, founded in 1137 by Cistercian monks. In 1154 the monks started to
plant vines in the Pfortenser Köppelberg vineyard, which still today is
one of the six vineyards of the winery, producing excellent wines.
Pforta Abbey soon had a reputation as the richest abbey in medieval
Thuringia, with vineyard holdings in 192 communes, totaling at least 250
ha (around 625 acres).
After Reformation (during the 16th century the eastern part of Germany
became Lutheran and the monks had to leave), ownership went to the kings
of Saxony, which subsequently lost the Abbey Pforta to the Kingdom of
Prussia at the Vienna Congress in 1814.
Prussia converted Pforta into a wine estate and wine research institute.
After World War II, it became the socialist co-operative VEG Weinbau
Naumburg in East-Germany, with 120 hectares of land. After the breakdown
of the socialist system in East Germany in 1989, Pforta was in the
hands of the privatization organization Treuhand for a couple of years,
but not privatized and became the Landesweingut Kloster Pforta of the
Federal State of Sachsen-Anhalt.
The vineyard area totals 51 hectares, with holdings in the following
sites: Goseck (Dechantenberg), Großjena (Blütengrund), Naumburg
(Paradies), Pforta (Köppelberg) and Saalhäuser (with eponymous monopole
sites). The main grape varities are Müller-Thurgau (10 ha), Silvaner (6
ha), Riesling (6 ha) and Pinot Blanc (5 ha) as well as Portugieser (5
ha), and Zweigelt.
