WINE DESCRIPTION
This Piesporter Goldtröpfchen Riesling Spätlese is produced by Bollig-Lehnert, a small, family-run estate located in the middle Mosel Valley, with winemaking roots dating back to the 17th century. The grapes are sourced from the renowned Piesporter Goldtröpfchen vineyard known for its steep, slatey southern-facing slopes that benefits from the reflected sun from the nearby the river. The wine is partially fermented in inert vessels, before the fermentation is halted through chilling and filtration to retain sweetness that perfectly balances the racy acidity.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Bollig-Lehnert Piesporter Goldtröpfchen Riesling Spätlese has a pale straw color with slight gold reflections.This Spätlese Riesling reveals layers of peach, yellow apple, and honeysuckle, accompanied by delicate white floral notes. The palate is equally impressive, with a lean texture and almost featherlight delicacy. The flavors of stone fruits, such as peach and apricot, are beautifully complemented by a refreshing acidity that brings a vibrant and lively character to the wine, seamlessly balancing the sweetness. Despite its light touch, the finish is surprisingly persistent, giving the wine an ethereal quality.
