TASTING NOTES
The Riesling Piesporter Goldtröpfchen 'GP' Trocken 2021 from Weingut Günther Steinmetz comes from an ancient vineyard on a majestic amphitheatre hillside that has been farmed since Celtic times. The grapes for this Riesling grow on steep south-facing slopes with an inclination of up to 55°, on soils rich in grey slate and protected from the cold east winds. The vines are 35 years old and the grapes are harvested by hand in the second week of October, destemmed and gently pressed. After a night of cold settling and spontaneous fermentation, the wine is aged on its lees for 8 months. This dry Mosel Riesling has exceptional power and an intense flinty character. Medium bodied, it is very concentrated on the palate, with succulent notes of white fruits balanced by a distinct smoky minerality. The long, persistent finish promises great longevity.
