Tasting: Manfred Briet Piesporter Goldtropfchen Riesling Spatlese



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

Wine Review - The late harvested Spatlese wines are medium bodies 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 eight years. 

Personal Review - This wine was one of my favorites!  It was sweet, refreshing and had pear and pineapple tastes that stood out.  I liked it at the time, but it had a greater after taste that lingered in the mouth that had me wanting more after we had left. 

Food - I did not try this wine with any food.
