Gunther Steinmetz, Chenin Blanc Kestener Paulinsberg, 2024
Chenin Blanc on the Mosel is almost a contradiction in terms, and that is exactly why Stefan Steinmetz planted it. On the brutally steep gray slate of the Kestener Paulinsberg, he put in Loire's great chameleon grape in 2021, and this 2024 is the very first bottling off those young vines. It comes out bone-dry and sunlit, with the salinity and cut you expect from great Mosel slate wearing an unfamiliar accent. Consider this a front-row seat to an experiment from one of the region's most restless young talents. Genuinely rare, and unlikely to sit around.
