Vineyard Site
The Steinhaus vineyard is a steep terraced site north of Langenlois, with a pronounced southern exposure and slopes exceeding 20 %. The topsoil is composed of loess and alluvial gravel, while the subsoil is rich in quartz. This geological diversity creates well-drained, meager soils that encourage deep rooting of the vines. The result is wines with clear structure, fine minerality, and elegant character, offering a distinctive expression of the terroir.

Wine Description

Light yellow-green with silvery reflections, showing a fragrant interplay of white tropical fruit, floral notes, lime, and passion fruit on the nose. On the palate precise and juicy, with hints of vineyard peach supported by lively, well-integrated acidity. Clear and elegant, with a saline, citrus-fresh finish and excellent drinkability.

Food Pairing

A harmonious partner for spiced dishes, particularly from Asian or Indian cuisine, where its subtle sweetness provides balance. It also pairs beautifully with sweet-and-sour dishes.
