Weinhaus Stetter’s wines now available online

For 118 years, Weinhaus Stetter’s wines have only been available via phone or directly at our brick and mortar storefront in Stuttgart.

Not only the current COVID-19 crisis but also the changing retail trends lead us to finally create our own online presence.

It was very important to us that the new website is as easy to navigate as possible, whether you’re looking for an old favorite or new inspiration. Of course, we would still be happy to personally guide you to your next wine over the phone (0711/240163) or via email (mail@weinhaus-stetter.de).

Over the next weeks and months, we will steadily be bringing our entire collection online. This will regularly include rare vintages and large format bottles out of our wine vault.

Stay tuned and regularly visit our website. We’re certain that you’ll find the perfect wine among our collection.

Our flagship ZUR WEINSTEIGE – Hotel.Schlösschen.Gourmetrestaurant – only a 5 minutes walk on foot from Weinhaus Stetter – was awarded “Outstanding Restaurant/Wine” in the category Hotel Restaurant.

16.06.2020
Wines of Germany (DWI) in cooperation with Original SELTERS and DER FEINSCHMECKER “Outstanding Restaurants” is awarded to an establishment with an exceptional focus on wines of German regionality. Hotel and Restaurant “Weinsteige” in Stuttgart emerged as the winner in the category of Hotel Restaurant.

For the DWI Managing director Monika Reule, this year’s seventh anual competition is particularly important in view of the difficult times for the hospitality industry due to COVID-19. She explains:

With our awards, we want to show wine lovers restaurants where the regional wines are featured exceptionally well and skillfully paired with great dishes. We also hope to generate additional business for both the restauranteurs and the featured wine makers and thus create a supportive promotion for the businesses.

This year, the prizes will be awarded on site and in the presence of one of the judges who will also give the congratulatory speech to the respective winner. The judges includes SELTERS Managing director Otto J. Völker, deptuy editor-in-chief of DER FEINSCHMECKER Gabriele Heins as well as Christina Fischer, Paula Bosch, and Gunnar Tietz. Every year the team sets a high quality standard for the evaluation of the restaurants. For example, in addition to the scope and quality of the wine list, factors such as pricing, employee training, wines by the glass offerings, and the possibility of hosting wine events are factors in the judge’s descision making.

Translated from German:

Whether wine lover, wine freak, collector, or simly wine drinker, if you have the luck and opportunity to tour the historic vaulted-ceilinged wine cellar built in 1870 with its’ splendid wine collection then you won’t want to resurface any time soon. The well cooled cellar houses over 10,000 bottles of wine containing special vintages, countless rieslings, treasures and top growths of Germany. Countless events revolving around wine from the Culinary Wine Evening, the regularly held Ladie’s Wine Night and the Gentleman’s Wine Evening, or the Summer Wine Festival, everything here revolves around the world of wines.

Weingut Aldinger – The Oldest Winery in Fellbach

In operation since 1492, Weingut Aldinger is one of the oldest Wineries in our program.

After 500 years of winemaking tradition, Gert Aldinger took over the family business. With the planting of international grape varieties as well as reduced harvest yield, Gert Aldinger set the benchmark for the region in terms of quality.

Today, the winery is in the 15th generation and is lead by the two sons of Gert, Hansjörg and Matthias Aldinger.

In the vineyards around Stuttgart, Weingut Aldinger operates 5 GROSSE LAGEN. Among others, the flagship „Untertürkheimer Gips“ which was purchased by the family in ist entirety in 1973.

As a family, both brothers make a perfect team. With great care taken in the vineyards by Hansjörg as well as in the cellar by Matthias, the wines are produced with perfection and an authentic care for the wine. „Less is more“ is the philsophy of the winery.

The consistent topnotch quality pays off. In 2020, Weingut Aldinger was named Vinum Winemaker of the Year. This was the first time a Württemberg winery was given this award.

The winery’s list of awards speaks for itself: Eichelmann 5 Stars, Falstaff Weinguide 5 Stars, Gault-Millau 5 Grapes.

Come try the Riesling „Stetter Edition“ which we make together with the winery exclusively for our house.
