Prepare to bid on an exceptional lot of the highly acclaimed 1994 Piesporter Goldtröpfchen Riesling Auslese from Weingut Reinhold Haart. This lot is distinguished by its inclusion of 750ml bottle bearing the coveted Grosser Ring Versteigerung seal—marking it as a genuine VDP 2008 Auction Wine (Versteigerungswein 100yrs of VDP 1908-2008) This is rare, hand-selected bottling of the highest quality and concentration. The Grand Cru Site: Piesporter Goldtröpfchen The wine originates from the legendary Piesporter Goldtröpfchen, a VDP Grosse Lage (Grand Cru) vineyard, widely regarded as one of the Mosel's top sites. The name, translating to "little droplet of gold," speaks to its esteem. This steep, southwest-facing slope is characterized by deep, clayey Devonian slate soils, which lend the Riesling a distinct minerality, opulent texture, and remarkable longevity. Wines from Goldtröpfchen are famously powerful yet elegant, often described as having a "baroque" opulence. The Historic Winemaker and VDP Excellence Weingut Reinhold Haart is a generational leader in the Mosel, with a winemaking tradition documented since 1337, making it one of the oldest private estates in the entire region. The winery is a proud and long-standing member of the VDP (Verband Deutscher Prädikatsweingüter), upholding the strictest standards for quality and terroir expression across their exclusively Riesling plantings. The Vintage, Style, and Critical Acclaim * The 1994 Vintage was highly successful for sweet German Riesling, ensuring concentration and structure. * The Auslese Prädikat (Selected Harvest) signifies late-picked, very ripe grapes, often including noble rot for incredible richness and complexity. This results in a sweet, yet beautifully balanced wine with a modest alcohol content of 8.5% vol. * Critic Ratings confirm the wine's quality, with the 1994 Auslese receiving a combined average of 94 points from leading international critics. * Tasting Profile: The wine is entering its prime, showcasing a rich profile of concentrated stone fruit, honey, savory spice, and a pronounced slate minerality, all kept fresh and precise by a racy acidity. It is considered ready to enjoy now but possesses the structure to age for decades. Shipping and Buyer Confidence. We ship quickly, securely, and fully insured.
