Goldtröpfchen Kabinett Riesling 2020

At table it shows its full potential as an accompaniment to exotic and spicy dishes of international and national cuisine.

The Goldtröpfchen in Piesport is one of the oldest and most prestigious vineyards of the Moselle and Germany. Due to its centuries-old reputation, the steep slope is also known as a so-called "historic vineyard site". Finds such as a Roman wine press from the 3rd century or historical diatrette glasses testify to an intensive wine history. Our property is located exclusively in two parts of the amphitheater-shaped steep slope, which have not been cleared, where the rugged slate rocks steeply reach the Moselle River. Due to the fact that the vineyards are on small terraces, pure manual work is irreplaceable in all areas. This area of the Goldtröpfchen is not called "Lorelei" without reason and is as impressive scenically as it is ideal for Riesling cultivation. The soft blue Devonian slate and weathered soil stores the sun's heat and charges up with the rocks during the day like a battery. Due to its proximity to the Moselle River, sunlight reflection is very high, which benefits photosynthesis. All in all, the Goldtröpfchen has a warm microclimate for Mosel conditions, which is strongly influenced by the river and slate and favors the formation of fruit aromas in the Riesling. The majority of the wines are vinified accordingly in residual sweetness, with the exception of a dry Grosses Gewächs, which may celebrate its premiere with the 2018 vintage.
