Gunther Steinmetz Neumagener Rosengartchen Riesling Grosses Gewachs

Weingut Günther Steinmetz Neumagener Rosengärtchen Riesling Grosses Gewächs 2024

This is a great dry white wine from the Mosel region, produced by a family winery in Brauneberg with roots dating back to 1900. Today, Stefan and Sammie Steinmetz work around 12 hectares with low-intervention viticulture, manual harvesting, rigorous selection, and an absolute focus on the identity of each vineyard. This GG comes from Neumagen Rosengärtchen, from old, densely planted vines, in a style that combines purity, tension, and depth.

Vintage 2024

Still very young, the 2024 already impresses with the way it combines concentration and balance. James Suckling called it a “dry Mosel masterpiece,” highlighting its radical minerality, gigantic energy, and almost endless, very salty finis.

Vinification

True to the house philosophy, the grapes are harvested and selected by hand, with very gentle processing and spontaneous fermentation, usually in large wooden or stainless steel vats, without unnecessary corrections, to let the terroir speak for itself. It is a low-intervention winery style, designed to preserve texture, precision, and aging potential.

Tasting notes

The nose is more restrained than expansive, but the palate reveals everything: dense and fine texture, without any weight, immediately dry, slender, and precise. There is a bright note of orange zest, wet stone, and sharp salinity, with a long, vibrant, and almost infinite finish. A Riesling GG of enormous class.
