  According to Vom Boden, the 2021 vintage is the last vintage from these vines - due to the age and location of this vineyard (which has 70 years of history). I very much admire what Ulli Stein does in preserving the cultural heritage of so many of these historical sites and this is very much an educational wine (I don't think there is much Elbling produced nowadays in the region anyways). That being said, this does feel like more of a science experiment and something for novelty rather than something I would purchase multiple bottles of.
  
  Notes of barley/wheat on the nose, but quite a crisp acidic palate with minerality coming through. Even with air, there was not much evolution to the wine and it was on the simpler side. The finish was on the shorter end.

  More natural than good. Some hay, apple juice, and minerals but one comment as we drank it, "every time I have a german wine that isn't reisling, I feel it isn't living up to the potential of the terroir". Based on how good the other Uli Stein wines are, I can't disagree.
