The Goldtröpfchen is the warmer vineyard, yet somehow the wine presents more linear (these basic notes as per Ohligsberg and Goldtröpfchen hold true with the expressions of Julian Haart as well, which is fascinating) – the tones here are a bit brighter and stone-fruited; it is also characteristically spiced and herbal, simply piercing and lithe. Welcome to Bonkers-town.

| Mosel Fine Wines | The 2023er Goldtröpfchen Riesling Spätlese, as it is referred to on the consumer label, was made with 20-30% botrytized fruit picked at 90° Oechsle on up to 30-year-old vines in the Niederemmel part of the vineyard and was fermented spontaneously in stainless-steel tank down to sweet levels of residual sugar (75 g/l). This hay-colored wine offers a superb nose of pear puree, a hint of cream, pineapple, apricot blossom, white pepper, and fine smoky elements. It is subtly creamy yet also beautifully airy on the palate and leaves a very precise and finely chiseled feel of creamy fruits, zest, and minerals in the mouthwatering finish. This is a beautiful Spätlese in the making. | No 74 Dec 2024 |
