Elfinger Hof

Highlight • Historical Site

The following story is told about the origin of the name Eilfinger: In Maulbronn Monastery, the monks once lived strictly according to the strict rules of the Cistercians. They were not allowed to drink wine during Lent. So they just dipped their fingers in the delicious liquid and then licked it off. Many of the monks wished they had eleven fingers instead of ten. The name "Elf-Fingerberg" is derived from this pious wish, which soon became a regular phrase. Of course, at that time people did not write "eleven" but "eleven", so that today you can find the historical spelling on the bottle label. The wines from the Eilfingerberg have a very individual profile based on the special microclimate and the type of soil that is rarely found in the region. (Source: Hofkammer-Kellerei)
