Not yet reviewed: 2020 vintage Importer notes: "This is Stein’s equivalent of a 'GG' and it should be considered as such, even if it is barely off dry in 2020; it is the top bottling. It’s also worth noting here that Stein could make an 'Auslese Trocken'” This would be 1) easy and 2) would be of a higher 'quality' level and therefore, at least in the absurd realm of German wine pricing, validate a higher price. Stein, however, chooses NOT to do this. I don’t believe I have ever had an 'Auslese Trocken' from Stein. Ulli wants to focus on raciness and lift; an 'Auslese Trocken' is, for him, anathema to the very delicacy he seeks, even if he could earn more money by producing such a bottling."
