Located in Würzburg, in the heart of the Franconia (Franken) wine region, Weingut am Stein is a distinguished family-run winery led by Ludwig and Sandra Knoll in the 5th generation. The vineyards lie on the steep, limestone-rich slopes of the famous “Würzburger Stein” and neighbouring great sites like Stettener Stein and Innere Leiste — terrain that gives the wines strong minerality, clarity and terroir-expression.
Since the mid-2000s the estate has embraced organic and biodynamic viticulture across its sites, eschewing synthetic pesticides and emphasising manual work, especially on steep slopes. Their wines are known for a lean, dry style: precise, mineral-driven, rooted in site and grape variety rather than showy fruit. A flagship example is Silvaner from old vines or their top Rieslings from Stettener Stein.
