The 2011 Julian Haart Piesporter Goldtröpfchen Riesling Kabinett hails from a vintage generally considered very good for Germany, despite some fluctuating weather conditions. An early budburst and flowering were prompted by an unseasonably warm spring. Julian Haart, a rising star in the Mosel, trained with luminaries like Egon Müller and KP Keller, and his wines have garnered global acclaim for their purity and class. The Goldtröpfchen vineyard, meaning "droplets of gold," features 75+ year-old terraced parcels. Julian Haart has become something of a Kabinett specialist, focusing significant rigor on these wines. This particular Kabinett is noted for a solid core of mineral and slate, bursting through key lime and ripe apple flavors, with golden raisin and cream carrying a luscious, well-spiced finish. Other tasting notes mention tree fruit (green apple, pear, peach), minerals, honey, stone, and citrus (lemon, lime), along with tropical notes like pineapple. 【Cult-like status among collectors for its unrivaled purity and class】. This wine is drinking well now and is expected to continue to evolve. 🍴 This versatile Riesling Kabinett pairs beautifully with poultry, shellfish, pork, spicy food, and cured meats. It also complements salads and green vegetables. 🥂 Ideal for a relaxed gathering with friends, a summer picnic, or as an aperitif. Its vibrant acidity and fruit profile make it a delightful companion for a wide range of casual to semi-formal events.
