Weingut Amalienhof
Heilbronn

The winery
Sun, peace and nature - that distinguishes the individual situation Beilsteiner Steinberg.
In feral state took over Gerhard Strecker and his family early seventies these known as "Amalienhof" mountain. With great use since the 30-acre ingrown from the forest mountain nature-was created. Heat-retaining and red Keuper marl and a distance of of 2.90 meters between the vines ensure optimal growth conditions. The almost 400 meters, the low-fog south facing aspect allows for the longest tire of healthy grapes on the vine.

Our philosophy
In winemaking in the cellar is the promotion of the natural flavor characteristics of the grapes in the foreground. The traditional craftsmanship combined with experimentation are our strengths. The range extends far beyond the usual Württemberg varieties. Velvet red, Sauvignon blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon are just a few names of grape varieties that have found a home on the Steinberg. Dry and tart wines also have their place here as noble sweet mature qualities.

The history
The former lords of the manor “Helfenberg” has always been known for its ideal natural prerequisite for viticulture.
Originally Beilsteiner but Steinberg was the domicile of Amalie, according to tradition, a mistress of the former lords of “Helfenberg”. Popularly it was in a short time from the original "Steinberg" to the nowadays well-known term "Amalienhof".
Thus, it was from the winery Strecker, founded in 1954, after the acquisition of “Steinberg” in a short time, the winery Amalienhof.
