Steffens Ernst

Producer description of "Weingut Ernst Steffens"

The "Ernst Steffens" winery is located in the municipality of Zell-Merl (Bernkastel area) in the German Moselle wine-growing region. The family has been growing grapes since 1648. The farm is run by Paul-Werner Steffens and his wife Elsbeth. The vineyards cover almost three hectares in the Nonnengarten (Briedel), Burglay-Felsen (Zell), Adler, Fettgarten, Königslay and Stephansberg (Merl) sites. They are mainly planted with white wine varieties. This is mainly Riesling, as well as Kerner, Bacchus and Müller-Thurgau, and the only red wine variety is Dornfelder. Particular emphasis is placed on consistently good care of the vineyards, selective hand-harvesting and gentle careful vinification in large oak barrels. The Rieslings are offered in dry, semi-dry, "lieblich" and noble sweet, and in suitable years ice wines are also pressed. A bottle-fermented sparkling wine is also produced.

In the past, you needed a wealth of encyclopaedias and specialist literature to keep up to date in your vinophile professional life. Today, Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one of my best helpers and can rightly be called the "bible of wine knowledge".
