In Falkenstein, an idyllic district of Donnersdorf, the Dörflein family runs their winery in one of the most beautiful vineyards in Franconia - the Donnersdorf Falkenberg. The charming vineyard cottages give the small vineyard plots a special atmosphere. The vineyard site is located in the middle of the Steigerwald wine panorama and between the charming cities of Würzburg and Bamberg. The vineyards nestle on the sun-drenched foothills of the Steigerwald, directly below the Zabelstein, which with its height of 489 meters is an ideal destination for hikers and cyclists. The Dörflein family is already in its fourth generation of winegrowing and cultivates grape varieties such as Bacchus, Müller-Thurgau, Silvaner and Acolon. Through careful manual labor, they manage to harvest healthy, sun-drenched grapes that form the basis for fruity and expressive wines. Modern, cellar techniques such as cold fermentation help ensure that the quality from the vineyard is also felt in the glass. To truly appreciate the wines, be sure to taste them.
