Production of the Steinberger Riesling 1.5l Magnum from Kloster Eberbach Winery

The grapes for the Steinberger Riesling 1.5l Magnum - Kloster Eberbach Winery come from the historic Steinberg vineyard in the Rheingau. The climate along the Rhine is shaped by the river and the Taunus hills. Warm days and cool nights allow for slow, aroma-rich ripening. The soils in Steinberger consist of Taunus slate, phyllite and loess deposits, giving the wines their characteristic mineral depth.

The grapes are selectively harvested by hand, with grapes from different parcels being taken separately to the cellar. Only fully ripe, aromatic berries reach the presses. Gentle processing preserves the Riesling’s delicate fruit. Light crushing and short maceration periods extract fine aromatic and mineral compounds from the grape skins.

The wine is matured in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks, with fermentation kept cool. This preserves the primary fruit, freshness and clarity of the aromas. Extended maturation on fine lees gives the wine additional creaminess and complexity. The fine lees protect the aromas, round out the acidity and create an elegant texture.

Kloster Eberbach Winery is one of Germany’s most traditional estates. The winemakers cultivate a style that places precision, origin and balance at the center. Every vintage of Steinberger follows a clear line: taut structure, pronounced fruit and a refined mineral note. The Magnum format encourages slower development and gives the wine additional depth as it matures.

• Origin: Steinberg in the Rheingau, an iconic single vineyard
• Soils: slate and phyllite with loess deposits
• Harvest: selective hand harvesting, parcels vinified separately
• Vinification: stainless-steel tank, temperature-controlled fermentation
• Maturation: extended aging on fine lees for greater complexity
• Estate style: clear, terroir-driven, precise and elegant
