The Goldtropfchen vineyard is a south facing slope of loamy grey slate soil above the village of Piesport. Even in hot and dry vintages water supply is sufficient due to the woods above the vineyards. Yields are kept very low (around 35hl/ha) to achieve a maximum of flavor during the long ripening period.
 
The hand-picked grapes were crushed carefully and the must fermented with indigenous yeasts. After a long and cool fermentation the wine is filtered carefully and bottled 8 months after harvest. To keep the wines character its treatment during vinification is kept to a minimum.
 
Tasting Notes
Spicy aroma of delicate tropical fruits. On the palate at first rather closed with cool mineral notes, it develops an opulent and long finish with rich flavors of all kind of fruits. A vibrant acidity keeps the wine in balance and the palate fresh.
