Piesporter Kreuzwingert Spätlese feinherb 2006

Very intense nose, some citrus fruit with a peach and lemon juicy, fruit salad. Off-dry, very mineral character and beside the ripe fruit a definitive spicy character with fruit drops.

Piesporter Grafenberg Spätlese 2006
Gun powder and flint on the nose with a spice, the hardcore mineral manager. Fruit comes as a distant second in lime and lemon form, elegant however, full and ripe, comfort wine.

Ripe lemon, citrus and stone fruit. Gun powder shoot from the corner. Fruity, well balanced elegant and charming wine, ripe fruit.

Very floral and herbal nose with ripe stone fruit. Complex, nose opens more and more with time, good layers. Very ripe and elegant with a great mineral character.

Piesporter Goldtröpfchen Auslese 2001 (Halves)

Golden colour, rich flinty notes with a slate minerality and a truck load of ripe fruit yet very classic style. I would say rather old school, soft and round with a racy acidity and tropical fruit, mango, passion fruit, pineapple, good density.

Piesporter Riesling feinherb

The term feinherb means somewhat off-dry, lightly dry only and a wine maker could call technically anything which has residual sugar above 9 g/l feinherb. Pale golden colour with a soft spice and peach fruit on the nose. Racy and good acidity with a hint of fruit drops. Fine.

Piesport Goldtröpfchen Riesling Kabinett 2007
Spicy fruit on the nose, crisp, great acidity, vibrant wine with a soft touch of petrol and minerality. Good finished and balanced between fruitiness and acidity.

Piesporter Grafenberg Riesling Spätlese 2007
More red slate in the soil as Theo Haart explains it, spicy wine with a good “nerve”, crisp acidity, fantastic acidity and good length.

Light golden colour, very elegant and creamy peach, citrus, lime on the nose. Hint of minerality and fruity style, good balance with the acidity and sweetness. Fine finish and complex notes.

Lemon green colour, great acidity and oily texture, good sweetness, 118 g/l RS and 8 g/l TA, great harmony, fruity ripe lemon, citrus and peach, mango notes. Long finish, very nice indeed.
