Anyone who wants to know why we age our Erste Lage wines in barrels and bottles for five years before releasing them will get the definitive answer with the Riesling from Steinmassl 2019. In our opinion, the wine has the perfect inner balance, combining tension with calm and energy with substance. Complex on the nose, it suggests exotic spices, yellow fruit, salt and bright floral notes and offers a solid, supple but also straight-vertical structure on the palate.

Soil structure is the magic word in the cultivation of the Steinmassl. We already began some years ago to spread humus in the parcels and to green the soils seasonally throughout the year. Today, Jerusalem artichokes, buckwheat, coneflower, broom and birthwort grow harmoniously alongside the Riesling vines and create a thriving landscape for snails and butterflies. A cactus grows nearby on a sunny slope. 
Through focused work and care for the individual vines – all by hand -  we rarely but consciously intervene in their development. As stress-free as possible. Grapes ripen in this way, and steadily build up a tension between acidity, extract and energy before their harvest, usually late in October.

The location

Even Riesling, which is actually resistant to – and in fact, predestined for - challenging conditions, must fight on the Steinmassl. The shallow ground cover is able to store little water, which is why the vine roots usually grow deep down to obtain sufficient nutrients. Long dry periods make the efforts of pressing great wines from the Steinmassl a delicate undertaking - every year.
However, if everything develops as we expect, the Steinmassl will deliver Rieslings that are filigree, feminine, mineral-rich and multi-layered, reflecting their terroir in an expressive, concentrated way.

The ground

Stony, meagre and hard. There’s a reason why everyone talks about the soils of the Steinmassl. The vines growing here – the vineyard is west of Langenlois - are rooted in crystalline rock, specifically Gföhler gneiss, a mixture of orthogneiss and mica schist. There also are inclusions of amphibolites, basalt-based metamorphic rocks.  The surface soil layer is shallow in most places, and immediately under it is bare rock.
