Weingut Artur Steinmann: A Historic Winery in Franken

Weingut Artur Steinmann im Pastoriushaus – A Winery with a Legacy Since 1916

Established in 1916 by Karl Steinmann, Weingut Artur Steinmann is nestled in the picturesque village of Sommerhausen, along the scenic river Main. This family-owned winery is located in the historic Pastoriushaus, the birthplace of Franz Daniel Pastorius, the first German immigrant to America and founder of Germantown in Pennsylvania. Beneath the Pastoriushaus lies a cellar that houses a treasure trove of aged wines, inviting visitors to experience the winery's rich history.
The vineyards are cultivated using organic and sustainable practices to ensure the health of the environment and the vines.

Traditional Techniques Meet Modern Innovation

Since 1982, winemaker Artur Steinmann has led the family business, producing approximately 120,000 bottles of wine annually. The winery spans 18 hectares of prime vineyard land, where the ideal rainfall, temperature, and soil conditions contribute to the growth of exceptional grapes. The team employs organic and sustainable methods to maintain the health of the vines, resulting in lower yields but superior quality grapes.

Signature Grape Varieties

Weingut Artur Steinmann cultivates a variety of grapes, including Silvaner, Müller-Thurgau, Scheurebe, Bacchus, Riesling, Weißer Burgunder, Traminer, Domina, and Spätburgunder. These grapes are carefully selected for the production of high-quality red, white, rosé, dessert, sparkling, and fortified wines. Fermentation occurs in small batches using German or French oak barrels and stainless steel tanks, enhancing the wines' flavors and reflecting the unique terroir of the region.
