Tasting notes
Made with a good portion of botrytis grapes, the 2013 Piesporter Goldtropfchen Riesling Auslese displays sweet and intense fruit, flint and honey aromas on the nose. Delicate, with lots of finesse on the palate, this is a stimulating and piquant Auslese with a lovely, zesty grapefruit character. The wine was bottled with 7% alcohol, 105 grams of residual sugar and 10.5 grams of acidity.

Cask sample. They must have been very patient and picky at the estate to assemble such clean ripe fruit. We are definitely venturing into the exotic sphere, but there is also an exquisite touch of garden herbs which lends an element of complexity to the mid palate before a marked salty minerality makes its presence felt. Overall this is still more a subtle rather than opulent style of Auslese. (MS)
