“Dr. Ulrich Stein is infamous for such lost causes as the reclamation of abandoned, frighteningly steep sites; and battling the entrenched 1971 German Wine Law. It seems, though, that he is more a David than a Don Quixote, because he has won them all.” –David Schildknecht, The Wine Advocate 

About the Producer: 

"Stein’s wines have never been more coveted and appreciated. After a half-century of producing unflinchingly mineral wines, Ulli deserves the touch of stardom he is now receiving. Like Hofgut Falkenstein, another grower that consistently championed ruthlessly dry wines when the only avenue of commercial success seemed to be to make wines with a bit more schmalz and sugar, Stein has gone from near-total obscurity to some degree of fame." 

Alcohol: 10.5%
