Günther Steinmetz Riesling Mülheimer Sonnenlay Auslese 2023

Candied lemon, apricot jam, and white peach rise from the glass with real intensity, underpinned by that cool, wet-slate character the Sonnenlay delivers so reliably. Despite the Auslese sweetness, the acidity keeps everything in check, bright, focused, and persistent through a long, honeyed finish. A trace of dried ginger and beeswax adds complexity without muddying the line. Drink now through 2038.
