2011 Weingut Lothar Kettern Goldtröpfchen Riesling Feinherb
Posted: 22:28 Fri 24 Oct 2014
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.
