Obsthof am Steinberg Malus Mespilus 2021 white

Obsthof am Steinberg Malus Mespilus 2021 is a distinctive white wine from Frankfurt am Main that stands out for its unusual fruit profile and local character. Made from Graue Französische Renette, Kaiser Wilhelm apples, and medlar, it offers a fresh, orchard-driven expression that feels both artisanal and deeply rooted in its place of origin.

Tasting Notes
Expect a pale, bright appearance with a gentle golden hue. The nose is likely to show crisp orchard fruit, floral lift, and a subtle, slightly exotic edge from the medlar, giving the wine a charming balance between freshness and complexity. On the palate, the wine should feel lively and fruit-forward, with apple notes at the core and a soft, rounded texture. The medlar component can add a slightly earthy, tangy nuance that broadens the finish. Its structure suggests it is best enjoyed for its youthful vibrancy, though it may hold well for short-term ageing if kept in proper conditions.

Production
This wine comes from Obsthof am Steinberg in Frankfurt am Main, where fruit from the orchard is carefully selected to reflect the character of the local terroir. The blend of traditional apple varieties and medlar points to a production style that emphasizes regional fruit and a hands-on approach, likely with gentle pressing and controlled fermentation to preserve freshness and aromatic detail.

Food & Serving
Serve chilled at around 8–10°C. It works well with light salads, soft cheeses, roasted poultry, and dishes featuring apples, herbs, or gentle spice. Decanting is not necessary, though a brief opening in the glass can help the aromas unfold.

Producer
Obsthof am Steinberg is a producer from the Frankfurt am Main area known for working with local fruit and orchard-grown specialties rather than conventional grape varieties. Its focus on regional identity and traditional fruit character gives its wines a distinctive place within Germany’s broader artisanal beverage scene.
