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 colour, silver reflections. Fine white tropical fruit, nuances of flowers, lime and passion fruit, attractive bouquet. Juicy, tightly woven, white vineyard peach, finesse-rich acidity, salty-lemony finish, already accessible, a lively food companion.
Food Pairing
The delicate sweetness of this Riesling helps to tame the spiciness of Asian and Indian dishes. The intense interplay of sweetness and acidity also goes perfectly with sweet and sour dishes.
