Variety: Riesling\nRegion: Wachau\nVineyard: Vom Stein\nSoil Type: Gneiss, mica inclusions, and loess\nFermentation & Élevage: Large, old casks\nFarming: Demeter Certified Biodynamic\nVom Stein:\nThis site is a sub-site of the larger Silberbichel vineyard. Located south east of the village, this is just 5.25 Ha and is a slight incline, sloping east, on the easternmost border of the Silberbichel vineyard.  The soils are gneiss with mica inclusions; there is a layer of loess and topsoil here – 60-120cm before you start to hit primary rock. Nikolaihof is the only winery to bottle this site on it’s own, but it is not a true monopole.
