All grapes from our own vineyards are picked by hand. This implies rigorous selection directly on the vine - only fully ripe, unscathed fruit ends up in the cellar. By the way: we have no irrigation systems in our vineyards. It is true that in extremely dry years it may happen that we forgo one or another harvest from young vineyards. On the other hand, the vines will root substantially more deeply, thus releasing extra aromas and flavors as well as power into the grapes.

...and here's the latest!
Steinzeiler 2011 is blended; the Blaufränkisch is joined in barrique by small proportions of Zweigelt and Cabernet Sauvignon.
After blending, Steinzeiler will spend the next 24 months maturing in our vaulted cellar.
