Günther Steinmetz, Mosel Neumagener Rosengärtchen 'Am Fels' 2024 White

Günther Steinmetz’s 2024 Mosel Neumagener Rosengärtchen “Am Fels” is a remarkably precise and concentrated white wine, defined by vivid citrus fruit, smoky minerality and pronounced slate character. From one of the Mosel’s distinguished steep-slope sites, it combines striking purity with a tightly structured finish that makes it especially compelling for lovers of mineral-driven German whites.

Tasting Notes
The nose is intensely expressive, opening with bright mandarin, smoke and flint. As the wine unfolds in the glass, layers of ripe stone fruit emerge, adding depth and complexity. On the palate, it is concentrated yet exceptionally clean, with a focused texture and remarkable energy. Fine citrus and stone-fruit notes are framed by powerful slate minerality, leading to an impressively taut, long finish. Its concentration and structure should allow it to develop additional complexity with careful cellaring.

Production
The wine comes from the Neumagener Rosengärtchen vineyard in the Mosel, where slate-rich soils contribute distinctive mineral aromas and a firm, elegant structure. The grapes are harvested and rigorously selected by hand, with deliberately low yields helping to ensure concentration. They are gently crushed and pressed without mechanical stress, then settled and cooled overnight before spontaneous fermentation. The wine is subsequently matured for eight months on its fine lees.

Food & Serving
Its focused acidity and pronounced mineral character make it an excellent partner for fresh seafood, shellfish, grilled fish and delicate poultry dishes. It would also complement dishes with creamy sauces, goat’s cheese or lightly seasoned Asian cuisine. Serve well chilled at approximately 8–10°C, allowing it a little time in the glass to reveal its smoky and stone-fruit nuances. Decanting is not essential, but a short period of aeration in a carafe can help the wine open more quickly.

Producer
Günther Steinmetz works approximately 12 hectares of vineyards around Brauneberg and neighbouring Mosel communities. The estate’s approach is centred on controlled low yields, rigorous hand selection and gentle, non-invasive handling in the cellar, preserving the character of the fruit and the slate-rich terroir. Extended maturation on the fine lees further contributes to the wines’ concentration, texture and refined mineral expression.
