The winery is located in the municipality of Rüdesheim-Eibingen in the German wine-growing region of Rheingau. With a history of over 900 years, it is one of the oldest wineries in Germany. The building complex is part of the last surviving wing of the former Benedictine convent of Eibingen, which was founded in 1165 by St Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1179) on the opposite side of the Rhine as the second convent after Rupertsberg. Around 1683, a new monastery was built in Eibingen, whose monastery cellar now serves as the winery's wine cellar.

The current winery emerged from the former Rüdesheim parish estate in the 1980s. In 2009, Bischöfliches Weingut Rüdesheim GmbH was founded, which is wholly owned by the Diocese of Limburg. Peter Perabo has been responsible as operations manager and cellar master since 2007. The company motto is: "We concentrate on the essentials: Riesling & Pinot Noir. With a lot of craftsmanship and little technology."

The vineyards cover 9 hectares of vines in the single vineyard sites Berg Schlossberg, Berg Roseneck, Berg Rottland, Bischofsberg, Magdalenenkreuz and Klosterlay (Rüdesheim), Hinterkirch, Frankenthal and Höllenberg(Assmannshausen), as well as Hölle(Johannisberg). They are 80% planted with Riesling, the rest with Pinot Noir. The vineyards are cultivated close to nature and largely herbicide-free. Quality criteria are yield reduction and selective manual harvesting, which means that only healthy , physiologically ripe grapes are processed.

In some cases, spontaneous fermentation is carried out with the vineyard's own yeasts. The Riesling is matured in various barrels, including the traditional large wooden barrel. In years with suitable weather conditions, noble sweet Trockenbeerenauslese wines are also produced. A Secco (semi-sparkling wine), a bottle-fermented sparkling wine and a Marc(marc brandy) from Pinot Noir are also produced. Around 50,000 bottles of wine are marketed each year.
