Steinrücken

single vineyard in the municipality of Radebeul (Niederlössnitz) in the German wine-growing region of Saxony. It was created by merging the vineyards Auf den Bergen (Paradies), Bussardberg, Friedensburg, Gemssteig, Minkwitscher Weinberg, Steinrücken and Terrassenberg. The Johannisberg vineyard adjoins the western side of Moritzburger Straße and the Goldener Wagen vineyard adjoins the eastern side of the Lössnitzbach stream. The south to south-west facing vineyards with slopes of 10 to 40% cover 23 hectares of vineyards on stony, partly sandy weathered soils. Due to the steepness of many sites above the Elbe centre terrace with 30 to 100% gradients, the layer of weathering products of the subsoil is quite thin. The vines therefore often have to be grown on terraces with dry stone walls. The varieties cultivated here are Riesling, Pinot Blanc, Müller-Thurgau, Traminer, Scheurebe and Pinot Noir. Members of the Niederlössnitz winegrowers' co-operative, for example, have shares in the site.
