With the Mosel nearly encircling the town of Piesport, the Goldtröpfchen site is shaped almost like a large amphitheater. This notable geographical feature protects against wind and channels warmth to the Riesling grapes in this sun-kissed south-facing site. Deep weathered slate soils lend these wines a mineral complexity. There are many layers of different soil here, with various levels of water permeability or retention that help ensure an optimal supply of nutrients and water. The resulting Goldtröpfchen wines are imbued with full-bodied tropical fruit aromas and a distinctive juicy character even in their youth.
