✨ Technical Specifications
The Piesporter Goldtröpfchen, or 'droplets of gold,' is one of the Mosel's most legendary grand cru vineyards, forming a majestic, south-facing natural amphitheater that traps heat and reflects sunlight from the river below. Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt's Piesporter Goldtröpfchen Riesling Spätlese Nr14 is a sublime expression of this unique terroir, crafted from late-harvested grapes grown on steep, weathered blue Devonian slate soils. The 'Nr 14' refers to a specific, highly prized Fuder (cask) selection known for its extraordinary depth and complexity. This naturally sweet white wine beautifully balances luscious notes of ripe peach, apricot, and exotic passionfruit with a vibrant, electric vein of acidity and a distinct, salty mineral finish that prevents it from ever feeling heavy.
🍾 About the Producer
With a documented winemaking legacy dating back to 1349, Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt is one of the most historic and revered wine estates in Germany's Mosel region.

Dedicated almost exclusively to steep-slope Riesling cultivation, the winery stewards world-renowned VDP.Grosse Lage vineyard sites such as the Saar's Scharzhofberger, the Ruwer's Kaseler Nies'chen, and their historic Mosel monopole, Josephshöfer. Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt is celebrated for crafting site-expressive, mineral-driven Rieslings that range from vibrant dry expressions to profound, age-worthy noble sweet Prädikat wines.
