Picked with 50% botrytis, the 2023 Piesporter Goldtröpfchen Riesling Auslese (Long Gold Capsule) opens with a clear, fresh and slatey bouquet of passion fruit, candied lemon and white chocolate aromas intertwined with notes of wet stones and earth along with saline notes. Round and lush as well as generous yet always refined on the palate, this is a textured and finessed, stimulating savory and lemon-fruity Auslese that was bottled with 145 grams per liter of residual sugar and almost 12 grams per liter of total acidity; it has perfect balance and great finesse. 7.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine from AP 23 24 in January 2025. 2025-2080.
The 2023er Piesporter Goldtröpfchen Riesling Auslese lange GK was made from 50% botrytized fruit harvested at above 130° Oechsle and was fermented down to noble-sweet levels of residual sugar (145 g/l). It offers a quite intense and aromatic nose of minty herbs, earthy spices, apricot, mango, acacia honey, cassis, cinnamon, tar, and licorice. The wine coats the palate with honeyed, juicy, and creamy rich fruits, which give the whole a ripe and sweet feel right into the very long and slightly broad finish. The aftertaste already shows a superbly well integrated and animating zesty and spicy acidity. This is hugely impressive! 2038-2063
