2011 Weingut Lothar Kettern Goldtröpfchen Riesling Feinherb

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.

Philipp said that the 2011 needs years – too 'big' a vintage at bottling and needs some time to calm down. This has 20 g/L residual sugar so above the usual Feinherb range, but it's not at all syrupy, it's very powerful, with peppery slate. Crisp and green, but not tart, crunchy and yet rich.

I noted this in my little black book: "much more herbal than the 2012 shown alongside, I liked the 2012 more"
