What is this wine?
Weingut Günther Steinmetz is a small, family estate based in Brauneberg on the Mosel, celebrated for making soulful, traditionally styled Rieslings from steep-slope vineyards. Piesporter Goldtröpfchen (“little drops of gold”) is one of the Mosel’s most historic and prized sites, a south-facing amphitheater of slate that produces wines of perfume and elegance. This 2023 Kabinett captures the vineyard’s character in a feather-light, off-dry style with brilliant acidity.

Why get this wine?
Steinmetz has a reputation among Riesling lovers for old-school craftsmanship and terroir transparency. His Kabinett from Goldtröpfchen delivers both heritage and deliciousness: delicate sweetness balanced by vibrant acidity and minerality. It’s a benchmark example of Mosel Kabinett, ageworthy yet irresistibly drinkable young.

What does this wine taste like?
Light and racy, with lime, green apple, and white peach wrapped in floral and herbal notes. A subtle honeyed edge is lifted by crystalline acidity and smoky-slate minerality, leaving a long, refreshing finish.

When should you drink this wine?
Beautiful now for its energy, but it will develop depth and honeyed complexity over 15–20 years. Pair with spicy Asian cuisine, sushi, smoked fish, or soft cheeses.

Antonio Galloni

AG 93

"The 2023 Riesling Piesporter Goldtröpfchen Kabinett emits slate and lemon on the nose, filling the mind with vivid freshness. The palate is initially all lemon and slate with some mouth-coating pith, but a core of riper juicy Mirabelle beckons from deep inside that stone. Alluring, light, aromatic and irresistible, it tapers to a zesty lemon finish." -Anne Krebiehl

German Wines

Is there a better grape than Riesling? Is there a better value? Its fruit purity, its perfume, and its mineral nuance are all unparalleled. And for centuries, the top German Rieslings were priced accordingly: at least as expensive as the top red wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy. But nowadays you could spend a lifetime exploring Germany’s great Riesling-producing regions while staying well within your budget. You might take an occasional break to try Germany’s other white grapes or perhaps a glass of Spätburgunder (the local name for Pinot Noir). It’s time to get started!
