In the idyllic setting of the Firmenich winery on the Steinberg, directly on the South Styrian Wine Route, a wine tradition is born that is deeply rooted in nature. Winegrowing has been a passion of the family for five generations, and this dedication is reflected in their careful and sustainable organic cultivation. Johannes Firmenich focuses on winemaking with minimal intervention in order to bring out the unique character and terroir of the region in the best possible way. The wines tell of their origins, of the unique soil on which they grow and of the history of the family winery. The fine craftsmanship required to follow nature without dominating it is a central aspect of their winemaking. They rely on their intuitive sense of when intervention is appropriate and when it is not.
The top vineyards Zieregg and Steinberg at an altitude of 400 to 500 meters above sea level form the heart of the winery, nestled in the steep vineyards of southern Styria. The unique coral limestone soil, a relic of times gone by, gives the wines an unmistakable structure and a slight saltiness. For lovers of natural wines, the winery offers a wide range of wines that explore the alternative side of viticulture and at the same time make the history and geology of the region recognizable.
The location of the winery in the picturesque landscape of southern Styria contributes to the uniqueness of the Steinberghof, as does the Buschenschank, which offers guests an unforgettable experience. From there, you can enjoy a wonderful panoramic view of the surrounding vineyards and the hilly landscape. The Steinberghof is also home to a distillery with a magnificent view, providing the perfect setting for wine and gin tastings. Insider tip: The Steinberghof is also the home of "STIN - Styrian Gin".
