Tasting - Manfred Breit Piesporter Goldtropfchen Riesling Spatlese


Name: Manfred Breit Piesporter Goldtropfchen Riesling Spatlese
Variety: 100% Riesling
Region: Mosel
Country: Germany
Year: 2012
Price: $18.95

Store Review: The late harvested Spatlese wines are medium bodied but still very flowery, with good aging potential. This Goldtropfchen Spatlese is very fresh with a nice tropical fruit flavor balanced with the acidity. This wine has good potential for aging at least 8 years.

My Review: This wine had a super pale color and I could immediately smell the tropical fruits on my nose. Upon tasting, I realized this is one of the sweetest wines that I have ever tasted.  It had wonderfully soft tannins and basically no acidity.  I was surprised that the tropical fruits tasted even better than they smelled.  I would definitely recommend this for anyone having a "girls' night" in the near future (including myself!)!

I did not have any food with this wine.
