Günther Steinmetz Riesling Dhroner Hofberg Kandel 2023

Wound tight and precise, with Dhron's blue slate announcing itself immediately, that iron-edged, stony minerality cuts right through the mid-palate and lingers well into the finish. Graceful despite its grip, balancing a taut acidity against the fruit with quiet authority. Ancient vines on near-vertical slopes have given this serious structural backbone. Drink from 2027 through 2038.
