Steinberger Riesling off-dry VDP Ortswein Magnum 1.5L

The Steinberger Riesling off-dry comes from one of the most famous single vineyards in Germany – and the magnum bottle gives it the space it deserves.

Kloster Eberbach has been cultivating the Steinberg since 1136. The historic wall that completely encloses the vineyard makes it the oldest Clos in Germany. The soil, consisting of Taunus quartzite and slate, shapes every vintage with a characteristic minerality. The winery is now a member of the VDP and classifies the Steinberg as one of its local wines – a category that stands for vineyard typicity and artisanal care.

In the glass, the 2023 vintage shows ripe peach and apricot, underpinned by citrus zest and a hint of white peach blossom fragrance. The residual sweetness is subtle – off-dry here means noticeable, but by no means dominant fruitiness, which is kept in balance by lively acidity. The finish is fresh, with a mineral-salty aftertaste.

Serving temperature: 10–12 °C. The magnum bottle matures more slowly and evenly – ideal if you want to save the wine for a special occasion.
Pairs with: Salmon with dill sauce, Asian cuisine with mild spice, goat cheese, or as a companion for a long summer evening at the table.
