Weingut am Stein
Established in 1890 by the Knoll family of Würzburg, the Weingut am Stein initially thrived in the cooper trade while nurturing vineyards as a secondary pursuit. As viticulture gained prominence, the family made a decisive move to the base of the Würzburger Stein in 1980, marking a shift toward a more focused winegrowing endeavor. Guiding the estate into its fifth generation, Sandra and Ludwig Knoll assumed leadership in the 1990s. Commitment to ecological practices emerged in 2006 with organic farming, followed by the adoption of biodynamic methods in 2008, shaping the ethos of the entire enterprise. A structural transformation in 2005 redefined the winery's traditional landscape with a modern architectural outlook. Architects Hofmann Keicher and Ring crafted a minimalist ten by ten meter cube, featuring wood, glass, and exposed concrete. The design embraces openness, eschewing conventional doors, and fostering a seamless spatial experience. Encompassing 25 hectares of vineyards, the winery boasts an annual production of approximately 200,000 bottles.
Varietal Diversity:
- 25% Silvaner
- 25% Burgundy (White, Gray, and Blue Pinot Noir)
- 20% Riesling, complemented by newer varieties like Rieslaner, Müller-Thurgau, and Scheurebe.
Vineyard Focus:
The Stettener Stein stands as a paramount site, complemented by other key locations including the Würzburger Innere Leiste, the Würzburger Stein, and the Randersackerer Sonnenstuhl. These vineyards thrive in a soil rich with shell limestone, characterizing the distinct terroir of the estate.
