From the distributor:

Practicing organic, hand harvested and naturally fermented with indigenous yeasts.

Stein's “Weihwasser,” meaning Holy Water, comes from fifty-to-sixty-year-old vines in the St. Aldegunder Klosterkammer vineyard near the old church in Alf. The wine is barely off-dry with flavors of salty lemon and pear. It has an extremely high drinkability. This is a perfect old school feinherb as they used to be made, low in alcohol and disappears in the glass before you know it.

No one has met winemaker Dr. Ulrich Stein (“Ulli”) without at least developing a slight crush on the guy. He is brilliant, passionate, incredibly fun, perhaps a bit manic and does nothing that is easy or obvious. Ulli specializes in the absurd and the sublime. He farms meaningful parcels of land that have a few important things in common: They are not easy to work. They are commercially unknown and therefore (most likely) barely financially viable. Stein is more than a winemaker – he is a passionate advocate for the traditional, steep, slate vineyards of the Mosel.
