As 2023 is a very recent vintage, specific reports are still emerging. Piesporter Goldtropfchen is a renowned vineyard site in the Mosel, celebrated for producing high-quality Rieslings. Spatlese indicates a late-harvest wine, typically off-dry to medium-sweet, with concentrated fruit flavors. Expect intense aromas of ripe peach, apricot, and citrus, with characteristic slate minerality. The palate would be off-dry with vibrant acidity balancing the sweetness, leading to a long, refreshing finish. 🍴 This delightful Riesling is an excellent match for spicy Asian cuisine (Thai, Vietnamese), lighter desserts like fruit tarts or sorbets, foie gras, mild blue cheeses, and roasted pork with apple. 🥂 An excellent choice for an aperitif, a dessert wine, or to pair with flavorful, slightly spicy dishes. It can be enjoyed young for its freshness or cellared for many years to develop complex tertiary aromas.
