Cistercian Wine

Cistercian wine refers to wines produced by Cistercian monks, who are part of a Catholic monastic order founded in the 11th century. Known for their discipline and dedication, these monks traditionally cultivate vineyards and craft wines as part of their spiritual and communal life. The wines often emphasize quality, heritage, and tradition, reflecting centuries of careful craftsmanship. While some monasteries still produce wine today, Cistercian wine is valued for its historical significance, consistent production standards, and often for its connection to monastic cellars that emphasize natural, artisanal methods.
