St Christopher Goldtröpfchen Riesling Kabinett (75cl)

An off-dry, low-alcohol Mosel Riesling from the Piesporter Goldtröpfchen vineyard, one of only two vineyards in Piesport designated Erste Lage. The vineyard sits on Piesport's steep northern bank with a southerly aspect, with reddish iron-rich soils, quartz, stony clays and blue-gray decomposed Devonian slate. Grapes are hand-harvested and gently pressed, then fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel. The aroma shows crushed stone, faint smoke, lemon blossom, green apple and wet slate. The palate brings zesty lemon and lime, tangerine, tangy pear and ripe nectarine, with crystalline minerality and lacy residual sweetness.
