Piesporter gold droplets
The Piesporter Goldtröpfchen is a vineyard of the local church Piesport in the growing region Mosel , area Bernkastel .
Vineyard
The 66 hectare vineyard extends to the left of the Moselle, starting above the Piesport district of Ferres, on a steep slope in a particularly south-easterly direction up to the Moselle Oreley. It forms the shape of an amphitheater . It is assumed that the natural theater mentioned in the poem Mosella by DM Ausonius (verses 155 and 156: ... vitibus assurgut naturalique theatro) describes this mountain slope. The floor is made of slate . The site is planted with Riesling . The Piesporter Goldtröpfchen is a first layer of the VDP and approved for large plants of the Bernkasteler Ring . The first known written use of the site name dates back to 1868. At that time, according to a cellar book from 1875, a winegrower from Piesport sold a total of thirteen bottles of 1868 Piesporter gold droplets to Berlin at a price of 6 marks per bottle. This cellar book is still in the possession of a Piesporter winery today.
