On the nose, it is beautifully restrained yet full of promise, unfolding with white peach, subtle floral blossoms, delicate whipped cream texture, and a whisper of slate smoke. The palate is effortlessly silky, carrying fresh orchard fruit and vibrant lemon through a masterfully balanced, harmonious finish. Ripe, integration-ready acidity weaves through the palate, lending immense finesse and drive to a gloriously long aftertaste. A standout triumph for the vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"\u003cem\u003eThe 2024 Riesling Brauneberger Juffer GB, GB standing for Grosser Brauneberger rather than GG, is from a parcel at the bottom of the slope called Hasenläufer. A note of apricot is tender but exquisitely pure on the nose. The palate follows in the same vein, with a fine-boned body, real finesse and much freshness. All is in tune, enhanced by both salt and lemony brightness. The 2024 is wonderful.

Building on a century of family tradition, they craft raw, terroir-driven wines across 12 hectares of legendary slate slopes - including prized plots in the Brauneberger Juffer, Piesporter Goldtröpfchen, and Dhroner Hofberg. Practicing low-intervention, natural viticulture, they reject all chemical fertilisers, herbicides, and insecticides, focusing instead on strict yield control and hand-harvesting old, ungrafted Riesling vines from precipitous inclines that can only be worked by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the cellar, Stefan and Sammie adhere to a strict minimal-intervention ethos: 100% wild, spontaneous fermentations with zero additives, fining agents, or animal products. Renowned wine critic Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com) consistently celebrates Steinmetz dry Rieslings for their breathtaking intensity, off-the-scale concentration, and razor-sharp slate precision. These are singular, cellar-worthy Mosel wines defined by pure linearity and electric tension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\n.custom-html-container,\n.custom-html-container * {\n  background-color: transparent !important;\n  box-shadow: none !important;\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Remove any inherited top margin *\/\n  \n}\n\n.custom-html-container {\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Ensure container has no top space *\/\n  padding-top: 0 !important;\n}\n\n.custom-html-container .global-button {\n  background-color: #35174D !important;\n  color: #ffffff !important;\n  border: 2px solid #35174D !important;\n  display: inline-flex;\n  padding: 25px 40px;\n  font-family: Futura, sans-serif;\n  font-size: 14px;\n  font-weight: 400;\n  line-height: 110%;\n  text-decoration: none;\n  cursor: pointer;\n  transition: background-color 0.3s ease, color 0.3s ease;\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Explicitly remove top margin *\/\n}\n  \n.custom-html-container .global-button:hover {\n  background-color: #ffffff !important;\n  color: #35174D !important;\n}\n\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-html-container\" style=\"margin-top: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/weingut-g%C3%BCnther-steinmetz\" class=\"global-button\"\u003eBrowse our Weingut Günther Steinmetz Collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Whelehans Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58263732158808,"sku":"720010","price":45.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0353\/6859\/9683\/files\/gunther-steinmetz-braueberger-juffer-gB-wines-dublin-winestore.jpg?v=1788254416","url":"https:\/\/whelehanswines.ie\/products\/gunther-steinmetz-mosel-riesling-brauneberger-juffer-gb-2024","provider":"Whelehans Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
