The name of this vineyard derives from the stony soil (‘stein’ meaning stone). The site was first documented in 1322 as ‘Steinapeunt’, then as ‘Steinbichl’, and finally as ‘Steinbühel’. Beneath the soil are crystalline granulite rocks and much younger gravels from a former watercourse of the Danube River, which form small ‘islands’ protruding through the overlying loess and result in an increased rock content in the generally silty soils, as well as a variable carbonate content.
