For the wine grape, see Würzburger.
Würzburger Stein is a vineyard in the German wine region of Franconia that has been producing a style of wine, known as Steinwein since at least the 8th century. Located on a hill overlooking the Main river outside the city of Würzburg, the vineyard is responsible for what may have been the oldest wine ever tasted.[1] In addition to being one of Germany's oldest winemaking sites, at 85 hectares (210 acres), the vineyard is also one of Germany's largest individual plots.[2]

Today the vineyard is one of the warmest sites in the Franconia wine region and is planted primarily to Riesling and Silvaner.[3]
