Vom Stein:
This 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.

"The 2022 Riesling Federspiel opens with a tender but pure note of tangerine peel. The palate is super-slender, very juicy, beautifully stony and gently citrus-scented. The light body charms with aroma, yeasty depth and freshness. The finish holds subtle orange pith. (Bone-dry)"
