What reviewers say
“94+/100. This wine started off absolutely stunning, singing with golden fruit, honey, and botrytis notes that were to die for. Day two and the wine had lost most of the punch it had after first opening. Golden yellow colour in the glass hints this wine is essentially an auslese with a good selection of grapes (hence the Goldkapsel). The palette is beautiful and has plenty of citrus fruits, honey, minerals, pineapple, apricot, and elderflower. Drink now - 2040. AP [05 20].”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Heavily weathered silver-gray slate, intense mineral acidity. Yellow fruit, orange zest, grapefruit, honeydew melon, tight, athletic body. Southern facing slope.
Günther Steinmetz Piesporter Goldtröpfchen Riesling Spätlese Goldkapsel is a German white from Piesport.
Only 37 of its Vivino reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 37 reviewers with at least two ratings feeds the raw-average track. The cohort it is ranked inside holds 1,789 German whites.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Günther Steinmetz Piesporter Goldtröpfchen Riesling Spätlese Goldkapsel lands against every wine we rank.

- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 37.
