Riesling Auslese from the Piesporter Goldtröpfchen vineyard in the Middle Mosel, where Stefan Steinmetz, who runs the family estate in Brauneberg, cultivates Riesling on steep south-facing slopes of 30–70% gradient, between 120–200m altitude, over deep Devonian blue slate. Every grape is hand-harvested and individually sorted.

Spontaneous fermentation, with no commercial yeasts.

El Piesporter Goldtröpfchen Auslese 2018 es un vino dulce de la bodega Günther Steinmetz, situada en el Mosela, en Alemania. Elaborado exclusivamente con uva Riesling, este ejemplar procede de la viña Goldtröpfchen, en el Mosel Medio.

Stefan Steinmetz dirige la bodega familiar, en Brauneberg; el Goldtröpfchen es una ladera empinada, con pendientes del 30 al 70%. El suelo es de pizarra devónica azul, con viñedos situados entre los 120 y 200 metros de altitud y orientación sur. La cosecha se realiza mediante vendimia manual y selección rigurosa de cada racimo. La fermentación es espontánea, sin levaduras comerciales.

The Wine Advocate le dio 94+ puntos. Según su nota, el vino presenta un aroma puro, elegante y con un ligero toque de pedernal, con notas de limón fresco y frescor. En boca se percibe como exuberante y picante, con una acidez lineal y precisa que contrasta con la fruta dulce y exuberante. Se destaca por su acabado largo, salino y picante. Aunque presenta un carácter nervioso y prometedor, sigue siendo un Riesling digerible con un final aromático de frutas de hueso y un contenido de azúcar residual de 121 gramos por litro. El vino fue embotellado a finales de febrero de 2019 y degustado en marzo del mismo año.

PARKER: 94+

Picked at 114° Oechsle and with partly raisined (but healthy) grapes, the 2018 Piesporter Goldtröpfchen Riesling Auslese (Gold Capsule) is lemon-fresh and coolish on the pure, elegant, slightly flinty nose. Lush and piquant on the palate, with precise, linear acidity cutting through the sweet, lush fruit, this is an elegant and refined Auslese with a long, salty-piquant finish. Still nervous (or nervy), this is a promising and digestible Riesling with lush stone fruit flavors on the aromatic finish. Very long and stimulating though still pretty sweet (121 grams of residual sugar). Bottled in late February 2019; tasted in March 2019.

Learn more about Günther Steinmetz

The house sits in Brauneberg, in the Middle Mosel, and is more than a hundred and twenty years old. The first to break with custom was Stefan Steinmetz's grandfather: he was among the first in the village to bottle under his own name rather than sell the wine in bulk.

His father, Günther, took over in 1958 and was the one who built the reputation for quality the estate has today. Stefan, the fourth generation, came in as cellar and vineyard manager in 2000, aged twenty-two.

There are some thirteen hectares, widely scattered: they stretch across about twenty kilometres in order to sit in the sites that matter —Brauneberger Juffer, Piesporter Goldtröpfchen, Wehlener Sonnenuhr, Dhroner Hofberg, Mülheimer Sonnenlay, Kestener Paulinshofberg—.

What they call natural viticulture is concrete: no fertilisers, no herbicides and no insecticides, with yield control and hand harvesting and sorting. And a declared preference when buying parcels: old, ungrafted Riesling.
