Vineyard Site
At the southeastern foot of the Heiligenstein lies one of the warmest sites in the winegrowing region. The soils are predominantly calcareous, composed of loess-derived loamy-sandy silt. Higher up, beneath the loess, the calcareous-poor to calcareous-free silts and sandstones of the Zöbing Formation emerge. This geological diversity gives the wines power, spiciness, and a distinctive minerality.

Tasting Notes
Karl Steininger:
Our first harvest of the Ried Lamm as a single vineyard wine in the new 500-liter oak barrel. The vintage immediately brought us impressive results, marking the beginning of a successful concept.
Today, many years later, still magnificent—spicy, fresh fragrance, a hint of vanilla, and the wood beautifully integrated, giving the wine a smoothness. A great wine with an international style, fine and elegant creaminess on the palate. Long-lasting finish.

The vintage 2015
First a hot, then a warm summer, dry at the beginning with some rainfall before the harvest, followed by a stable autumn. This defines a great and robust wine vintage.
