Weingut Am Stein is nestled on the side of the most famous Franconian vineyard, the Würzburger Stein. The domain has been in the Knoll family for five generations and is currently in the hands of Ludwig and Sandra Knoll. It is located on the Würzburger Stein, the most famous vineyard near the city. At 27 ha it is also one of the bigger private domains in the area. The family Knoll is lucky enough to own parcels in the best terroirs of the region; the Würzburger Stein, Stettener Stein and Innere Leiste. Vineyard work has followed biodynamic principles since 2007.
The wines of Am Stein are superior quality modern German wines with incredible aromatics, purity of flavour, freshness and balance.
Tasting Notes
Aromas of sour cherry and berry fruits are accented by earthy and subtle spice aromas on the nose. A medium tannin structure with flavours of bing cherries, leather and smoke. The palate is complex, bright and achieves the balance between being linear and round. The finish is long and continues to develop.
Method
The VDP.ERSTE LAGE sites are premium first class vineyards, which each possess their own individual character and optimal growth conditions. They are proven to produce long-lasting wines with sustained high quality. The grapes must be selectively harvested by hand. The maximum yield here is 60hl / ha. Erste Lage wines (like the equivalent of ‘Premier Cru’) boast sustainable quality with unique character.
The Würzburger Innere Leiste is located in a steep valley section on the south side of the former bishop’s residence “Marienberg”. Innere Leiste loosely translated means “inner crest”. The soil makeup is ‘mushelkalk’, a sediment layer of calcareous algae and mussels. The clay-containing limestone formed over millions of years contributes to the fact that the soil has a very good heat storage capacity. This results in a balanced availability of nutrients for the vines and the wind-protected position of the land and the influence of the microclimate ensure optimum grape maturity.
This wine is made according to the principles of organic and biodynamic farming and winemaking. The grapes undergo a long cold maceration, cool fermentation; aged for 12 months in large wooden barrels and used French barriques.
