Günther Steinmetz, Mosel Piesporter Treppchen von den Terrassen 2024 White

Günther Steinmetz’s Mosel Piesporter Treppchen von den Terrassen 2024 is a precise, intensely mineral white wine from one of the Mosel’s celebrated slate vineyards. Its combination of low yields, meticulous hand selection and exceptionally gentle handling brings remarkable concentration and purity to the vintage, while the steep terraced site reflects the long winemaking tradition of the Mosel.

Tasting Notes
The wine opens with an expressive nose of mandarin, delicate smoke and flint, followed by layers of ripe stone fruit that emerge with each swirl. On the palate, it is highly concentrated yet remarkably clean and focused, with vivid fruit, fine freshness and an impressive core of slate-driven minerality. The finish is exceptionally taut and persistent, marked by powerful schist aromas. Its concentration, acidity and mineral structure should allow it to develop further in bottle over the coming years.

Production
The wines of Günther Steinmetz are produced from approximately 12 hectares around Brauneberg and neighbouring Mosel communities, where the slate-rich terroir contributes depth and pronounced mineral character. Yields are deliberately kept low, and all grapes are harvested and rigorously sorted by hand. The fruit is gently crushed and pressed without mechanical stress, settled and cooled overnight before spontaneous fermentation. The wine is then matured for eight months on fine lees, adding texture and complexity while preserving its precise, mineral expression.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled at approximately 8–10°C. Its bright freshness and mineral intensity make it an excellent partner for grilled or poached fish, shellfish, sushi, roast poultry and dishes featuring fresh herbs or citrus. It can also complement lightly spiced Asian cuisine. Decanting is not essential, but a short period of aeration in the glass or a small decanter can help reveal its evolving citrus, stone-fruit and smoky aromas.

Producer
Günther Steinmetz is based in the Mosel and works with vineyards around Brauneberg and nearby communities, including the steep, slate-influenced sites of the Piesporter Treppchen. The estate’s approach centres on low yields, exacting hand selection and gentle, low-intervention cellar work. Extended lees ageing and spontaneous fermentation highlight the character of the terroir while maintaining the clarity and precision associated with fine Mosel wines.
