Günther Steinmetz: Passionate craftsmanship on the Moselle slopes
The Günther Steinmetz estate in Brauneberg, Moselle, has been run by Stefan Steinmetz since 1999. This 12-hectare family vineyard is planted exclusively with Riesling and Pinot Noir grapes, grown on the region's typical schist slopes. The estate's philosophy is based on sustainable viticulture and minimalist, additive-free winemaking to preserve the integrity of the terroir. The wines are distinguished by their minerality, liveliness and ageing capacity, faithfully reflecting the specific characteristics of the Moselle terroir.
Piesporter Treppchen Riesling GG
The Piesporter Treppchen Riesling GG from Günther Steinmetz is a 100% Riesling from the prestigious Piesporter Treppchen vineyard, classified as Großes Gewächs (GG) in the heart of Germany’s Mosel region. This exceptional site consists of steep, silver-slate slopes with an ideal southwest exposure, allowing for slow and balanced grape ripening. With low yields and old vines up to 90 years old, the wine shows remarkable depth and complexity. Crafted in a dry (trocken) style, it combines vivid minerality, elegant concentration, and crystalline finesse, offering outstanding ageing potential.
The 2024 vintage :Tasting notes
Generous aromas of yellow peach, grapefruit, and a hint of smoke lead into a compact, vibrant palate marked by wet-stone minerality and refined balance. The racy, long finish reflects the depth and energy of old vines — a great dry Riesling, already impressive but best enjoyed after a few years of ageing.
