2012 Lothar Kettern Goldtröpfchen Riesling Trocken GC

Post by djewesbury »

Drunk at the Lothar Kettern winery with winemaker Philipp Kettern on the 13th August 2014. We visited at the recommendation of Dirk Niepoort.

This is the highest quality ('Grand Cru') dry Riesling made at Lothar Kettern. Hand-selected from the vine, and only 500 litres produced, aged in a single new oak fuder barrel made in the village. This has a buttery nose, with lively herbal notes. The mouth is very green, with an unexpected ironish hardness; bony, salty. Very dry.

I noted this in my little black book: "the nose reminds me of the Bernkasteler Lay we tried recently, light body, in the mouth there are some herbs in the background, pretty good".
