The Brauneberger Juffer is the Steinmetz estate's home turf and its flagship, a legendary steep slate slope right on the doorstep. The "GB" here stands for Grosses Brauneberger, Stefan's own in-house designation for a dry grand cru from the site, his personal answer to a Grosses Gewachs. It's dry, fine-boned, and cut from a parcel at the foot of the slope, and it delivers the Juffer's signature mix of apricot fruit and mineral salinity. If you want to taste why Brauneberg earns its reputation, start right here.

"The 2024 Riesling Brauneberger Juffer GB, GB standing for Grosser Brauneberger rather than GG, is from a parcel at the bottom of the slope called Hasenläufer. A note of apricot is tender but exquisitely pure on the nose. The palate follows in the same vein, with a fine-boned body, real finesse and much freshness. All is in tune, enhanced by both salt and lemony brightness. The 2024 is wonderful." —Anne Krebiehl MW

More about Gunther Steinmetz

Stefan Steinmetz is one of the Mosel's most restless talents: a grower with some of the Middle Mosel's great steep slate in his holdings who is just as likely to hand you a Pinot Noir, or even a Chenin Blanc, as a Kabinett.

The estate is based in Brauneberg, in the heart of the Middle Mosel, where Stefan's grandfather was among the first in the village to bottle wine under his own name. Stefan took over as a teenager after his father's sudden death in 1998 and has built it up since; today he runs it with his wife, Sammie.

The vineyard list reads like a roll call of famous sites: Brauneberger Juffer, Piesporter Goldtröpfchen, Wehlener Sonnenuhr, Dhroner Hofberg. But the soul of the range is in Wintrich, where he holds prime positions in the Geierslay and Ohligsberg, steep south-facing slopes of purple slate and quartzite. The farming avoids herbicides, insecticides and chemical fertilizers, everything is picked by hand at low yields, and in the cellar every wine ferments spontaneously in large wood or steel, with no added yeasts and no fining agents.

The Rieslings run from bone-dry to classic fruity Kabinett, and the Pinot Noir is grown on slate and raised in neutral oak. Expect savory, slate-driven wines with real texture and a curious mind behind them.

WINE GUIDES

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!
