2024 Steinberger Goldener Becher Riesling Kabinett VDP.Grosse Lage "Steigwein" Kloster Eberbach Rheingau 0,75l

The 2024 Steinberger Goldener Becher Riesling Kabinett comes from the VDP.Grosse Lage Steinberg, one of the Rheingau’s most distinguished vineyard sites. Presented as a “Steigwein” from the steep slopes surrounding Kloster Eberbach, it combines delicate Kabinett sweetness with remarkable precision, mineral character and ageing potential. The historic Steinberg has been associated with fine wine for centuries, making this a particularly expressive example of the estate’s tradition.

Tasting Notes
Pale straw-yellow in appearance, the wine opens with an elegant bouquet of lime, white peach, green apple and ripe vineyard peach. White flowers, lemon balm and a subtle quartz-like minerality add freshness and complexity. On the palate, it is delicate, precise and beautifully poised, with finely integrated sweetness balanced by vibrant acidity. Its crystalline mineral character gives the wine energy, while the finish is long, cool and gently saline. The 2024 vintage is especially notable for its fine structure and elegance, and this Kabinett should develop gracefully over many years, gaining additional depth while retaining its freshness.

Production
The grapes come from the historic Steinberg vineyard, where loess, clay and quartzite soils combine with the Rheingau’s cool microclimate to produce Rieslings of finesse and pronounced minerality. Grapes are selectively harvested by hand and handled with care before undergoing temperature-controlled fermentation. Extended lees ageing helps preserve the wine’s freshness and precision while contributing extra texture and depth. The “Goldener Becher” designation reflects a particularly demanding selection intended for wines with outstanding quality and cellaring potential.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled at approximately 8–10°C. Its balance of sweetness, acidity and mineral freshness makes it an excellent partner for sushi, shellfish, crayfish, freshwater fish and delicately spiced Asian cuisine. It also pairs beautifully with poultry, goat’s cheese and refined vegetable dishes. Decanting is not necessary when young, although a short period of aeration in the glass can reveal additional floral and mineral nuances.

Producer
Kloster Eberbach is one of Germany’s oldest and most historically significant wineries, founded in the Rheingau in the 12th century by Cistercian monks. Over the centuries, the monastery helped establish the region’s reputation for outstanding Riesling and Pinot Noir, with Steinberg among its most celebrated vineyards. Today, Kloster Eberbach remains an important guardian of Rheingau wine culture and is renowned for producing precise, age-worthy wines that express the character of their individual sites.
