Günther Steinmetz Riesling Piesporter Goldtröpfchen Spätlese Goldkapsel 2017

Pineapple, citrus oil, and ripe stone fruit lead with surprising boldness for a Spätlese, yet the wine never tips into heaviness. A crackling seam of acidity, 9.5g, cuts through the residual sugar with real authority, leaving the impression of something far drier than the numbers suggest. Wet slate and a lingering salinity anchor the finish, giving the wine a precision that feels almost surgical. Drink now through 2032+.
