Christian Stahl

Christian Stahl isn't as bad as his name might suggest. He wants nothing to do with Franconian winemaking folklore – he thinks outside the box. When he took over his parents' winery in Auernhofen, he made a name for himself not only in winemaking but also in marketing. His entry-level "Nachschlag" (Seconds) line demonstrates a perfect balance between enjoyment and craftsmanship. Elegant wines with structure and vibrancy – the result of 1,000 hours of manual labor. In 2018, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) named him "Winemaker of the Year." On 30 hectares in the Tauber Valley, characterized by shell limestone and gypsum copper, wines with minerality and a hint of salinity thrive. Modern, distinctive, Franconian – at the highest level.

Christian Stahl –
Franconian wine with attitude from the Tauber Valley

Christian Stahl makes wine in Auernhofen in the Tauber Valley – and he does it in his own unique way. He has little time for traditional Franconian winemaking customs: when he took over his parents' winery, he completely rethought winemaking and communication. In 2018, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) named him Winemaker of the Year – an award that perfectly reflects his approach: meticulously crafted, but without blinders.

The 30 hectares of vineyards lie on limestone and gypsum marl, two soil types that impart a characteristic minerality and a subtle salinity to the wines. Around 1,000 hours of manual labor go into the vineyards each year – and you can taste it in the glass: structure, tension, depth.

His "Nachschlag" line demonstrates that accessibility and seriousness are not mutually exclusive. The wines are modern in expression, Franconian in substance – and distinctive enough to leave a lasting impression. Anyone wanting to experience Franconia beyond the traditional Bocksbeutel bottle will find what they're looking for here.
