Piesporter Goldtröpfchen Riesling Spätlese - Nik Weis St. Urbans-Hof

The Piesporter Goldtröpfchen Riesling Spätlese by Nik Weis St. Urbans-Hof from the single vineyard Goldtröpfchen in Piesport in the German wine-growing region of Mosel is a fruity, finesse-rich and varietally pure white wine.

In the glass, this wine has a brilliant golden color with light golden highlights. On the nose, a highly complex bouquet unfolds. It reveals complex aromas of ripe tropical fruit, juicy berries and sun-ripened yellow stone fruit. The fruity potpourri is complemented by smoky mineral hints. The multi-layered minerality gives this German white wine a wonderful depth that harmonizes perfectly with the ripe, finesse-rich acid structure. The perfectly balanced flavor experience also extends into the long finish.

This Spätlese is already very accessible at a young age and provides a lot of drinking pleasure, but gains more complexity with time.

Vinification of the Nik Weis St. Urbans-Hof Piesporter Goldtröpfchen Riesling Spätlese

Piesporter Goldtröpfchen is without a doubt one of the oldest and most prestigious vineyards on the Mosel. The steep slope with the rugged slate rocks, which reaches down to the Moselle, is divided into small terraces. The soil is characterized by soft, blue Devonian slate and weathering sediments. The Riesling vines range in age from 40 to over 100 years.

Exclusively by hand, the Riesling grapes are carefully harvested and strictly selected. In the wine cellar of Nik Weis St. Urbans-Hof, the grapes are first fermented spontaneously in stainless steel tanks. Subsequently, this Spätlese is aged in stainless steel tanks as well as in traditional Mosel barrels (volume 1000 liters).
