Weingut A.J.Adam Goldtropfchen Kabinett 2023
Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Riesling from the Neumagen-Dhron region of Mosel, Germany. This bottling comes from the VDP.Grosses Lage site of Piesporter Goldtröpfchen, which has devonia slate with quartzite soils
Goldtröpfchen Kabinett vines are over 110 years old. Here they have only small yields with perfect loose clusters and small aromatic Riesling berries.
Taste Profile: Aromas of crisp citrus, especially lemon and grapefruit, paired with dusty, slatey notes. On the palate there is pull and pressure, cracking lemon peel, a great sweet-acid interplay. It really moves forward, totally straight forward, focused, powerful, but still so delicious in its salty piquancy.
Less precise than the Häs'chen Kabinett, but more power, more edge and corners, unbridled energy.
Winemaking Process: Vinified with native yeasts in stainless steel tanks to maintain the typical nature and character of its grapes.
Harvest is always done by hand, with a heavy selection in the vineyards. The wines are fermented using only ambient yeasts in stainless steel, and left to mature. The wines are often left in contact with the lees for an extended period of time after natural fermentation, but nothing is done by rote at the estate.
