Weingut Oberstein

Falstaff Wine Guide Italy 2025

The steep south-eastern slopes of the Oberstein vineyard rise up like an arena at 400-500 metres above sea level. The extreme conditions that prevailed here millions of years ago have broken up and crushed the hard granite through plate movements. This created the special soil formation on which the grapes thrive. The company's credo: quality is created in the vineyard. The vines are cultivated in such a way that they achieve harmonious and balanced growth. This leads to low yields of high quality. A sometimes arduous path, but this is the only way to produce great wines.

Falstaff Wineguide Austria/South Tyrol 2021/22

Wine is something great and wonderful. It stimulates, sharpens the senses and can reveal a world full of flavours and delights. Wine can tell stories - about a region, a location, even about the winegrower who makes it. Joachim Wolf, owner and cellar master at Weingut Oberstein, is deeply convinced of this. Oberstein is situated in a wonderful location in the village of Tscherms below Lebenberg Castle. The steep south-eastern slopes rise up like an arena. The light, permeable, loamy sandy soil is interspersed with porous, slate-like rock material, which can be seen in the form of protruding rocks in some places. The minerals, above all heavily weathered quartzite, feldspar and mica, which the porous and slate granite rock releases into the soil, give the wines of Oberstein a special kick. Soil and location, combined with the strong temperature fluctuations between day and night, result in a unique combination for wines with a high recognition value. In the red wine sector, Joachim Wolf concentrates entirely on the traditional Vernatsch, of which he produces two varieties: the "Versal" and the "Arena", for which he partly processes the whole grapes. There are also two white wines: a juicy Pinot Blanc and a wonderfully complex Sauvignon. A promising young winery!
