Niederhäuser Steinberg

Perched above the renowned Hermannsberg and adjacent to the legendary Kupfergrube, the VDP.GROSSE LAGE® Steinberg is not a fusion of these opposing peaks in our vineyard portfolio.

Its name already reveals this: on the stone-rich volcanic porphyry soils, covered by a sparse layer of loess, grow over 40-year-old vines. Here, grapes are produced that yield distinctive wines with a cool complexity and tension-filled minerality. The extremely barren soils face south and southwest. Winemaking is as pure as the soil itself. A wine for terroir enthusiasts. Its expressively mineral character distinguishes it. At the same time, it is among the most age-worthy wines of Gut Hermannsberg.
