An Iconic Duo: 2007 Weingut Reinhold Haart Piesporter Goldtröpfchen Riesling Spätlese Magnums. This is an exceptional and highly sought-after offering—a duo of magnums of the 2007 Weingut Reinhold Haart Piesporter Goldtröpfchen Riesling Spätlese. This lot is not only a brilliant example of a classic Mosel vintage, but it also represents the pinnacle of a legendary winemaker's career. The Winery: A Storied Legacy of Excellence Weingut Reinhold Haart is one of the oldest wine-growing families in the entire Mosel region, with a viticultural tradition documented as far back as 1337. The family has long been a pioneer, having been among the first in the region to bottle their own wines and conduct auctions. For decades, the estate was led by Karl-Theo Haart, a master of sweeter Riesling styles. As a VDP (Association of German Prädikat Wine Estates) member since 1992, Reinhold Haart is committed to an origin-centered wine culture and the highest standards of quality. The Winemaker: A German Icon The 2007 vintage holds a special place in the history of the winery, as it was the very same year that the estate's leader, Karl-Theo Haart, was awarded the prestigious title of Gault Millau "German Winemaker of the Year." This recognition is a testament to his decades of dedication and his unparalleled skill in crafting wines that perfectly express the unique terroir of Piesport. The Wine: Spätlese Perfection from a Classic Vintage The 2007 vintage in the Mosel is celebrated for producing beautifully balanced wines with a perfect interplay of ripeness and acidity. This Spätlese (late harvest) from the Piesporter Goldtröpfchen vineyard is a stunning example of the vintage's power and finesse. The wine has received significant critical acclaim, with scores of 94 points from Wine Spectator and 92 points from Wine Advocate. Reviewers have praised its floral, slate, lime, and peach aromas, as well as its impeccable balance and concentrated yet delicate character. The magnum format further enhances the wine's aging potential, allowing it to develop a greater depth of character over time. The Vineyard: Piesporter Goldtröpfchen The Piesporter Goldtröpfchen is a VDP Grosse Lage (Grand Cru) vineyard that is widely considered one of the best in the Mosel. Its name, "Goldtröpfchen" ("little drops of gold"), is a fitting tribute to the concentrated, golden elixir that the vineyard's unique terroir produces. The steep, south-facing slope and deep Devonian slate soils are ideal for growing Riesling, imparting a distinctive, spicy minerality to the wine. Provenance: Impeccable and Direct from the Estate This duo of magnums boasts impeccable provenance, having been cellared in pristine conditions since its release. The wines were delivered directly from the Weingut Reinhold Haart estate to our professional wine cellar, OHMS – Connoisseurs Choice, in May 2009. They have been stored under perfect temperature and humidity, ensuring their integrity and quality. The bottles are in excellent condition with high fill levels and intact capsules.
