Sensory Description:

Pale straw in the glass, this wine opens with primary notes of lemon blossom, green apple, and a whisper of aquifer-cleansed slate. The palate dances with the tension of zesty lime, tangy pear, and orchard freshness, underlain by crystalline minerality. A subtle thread of residual sweetness offers gentle roundness without indulgence, leading to a crisp, electric finish that lingers with stone-cool clarity.

Winemaker's Background:

Founded in 1992 by visionary vintners Manfred Bauer and Günther Schlink, St. Christopher champions Mosel’s best terroirs by collaborating with exceptional growers. Their Piesporter Goldtröpfchen bottling shines as a testament to both tradition and site specificity, elegantly balanced, expressive, and inviting.

Serving Suggestions:

Enjoy lightly chilled at 46–50 °F (8–10 °C) in a white wine or Riesling stem. Its energy and clarity pair beautifully with delicate fare, spiced shellfish, sushi, soft herbal cheeses, or cured ham with mild orchard fruit compote. It also makes an uplifting solo sip when you want something light yet profound.
