The
wines of the Lorcher Bodenthal-
Steinberg are lean, light and very
lively. The wine is strikingly spritzy,
with a lively, pleasantly fresh, tingling
acidity. Fine delicate fruit
aromas of grapefruit with a hint
of lemon underscore the unpresumptuous
elegance. The quartzite
furnishes the wine with minerality
and a fine tanginess
that never dominates, but harmonizes
with the fine unpresumptuous
fruit aromas and the
lean body. This is an elegant
wine with many fine details and
a great deal of potential.
The site Bodenthal-Steinberg
is located in the Middle Rhine Valley between Assmannshausen
and Lorch, at an elevation of 180 m above sea level. The
site is steep and faces southwest. Solar radiation is one
of the most important factors determining the quality of
a vineyard and depends on the inclination and exposure of
the terrain. The favourable location of this vineyard ensures
that it receives an optimum level of solar radiation from
April to October.
