In general, grapes for Spatlese wines are selectively handpicked later in harvest, which leads to fully ripe to overripe berries with a juicy and complex aroma at the same time. Spatlese (late harvest vintages) from the Goldtroepfchen belong to the most fruit driven and luscious wines of the estate. The combination of ripe tropical and exotic fruits, dark berries and yellow stone fruits reveals a sort of aromatic explosion on the palate which is very well balanced by the smoky minerality. In addition to that, a refined acidity structure connects with a natural residual sweetness, which lends this wine a crystal clear and deep structure. The long lingering finish shows the the tremendous ageing potential already at this very young age.
